[RFC,2/2] Kbuild: Support nested composite objects

Commit Message

Elliot Berman Jan. 22, 2021, 7:27 p.m. UTC

Kbuild composite objects only supports one level of composite objects.
That is, a composite object may only be composed of real compilable
source files.

As a simple example, the following Kbuild description is now supported:

bar-a-y := a/bar0.o a/bar1.o
bar-b-y := b/bar2.o b/bar3.o

foo-objs := bar-a.o bar-b.o

obj-m += foo.o

Add such support by recursively searching for composite objects and
listing them in $(multi-used-*) and $(real-obj-*).
