What I found to work reliably (until further notice ;)) is to force the vdso build like below: ----------------------8<---------------------------- ----------------------8<---------------------------- This was my last attempt at solving this. Unless someone has a better idea or thinkg the above doesn't work (or it's uglier than Kevin's original patch) I plan to merge it. Other advantages are that it only generates a single vdso-offets.h file. It also only rebuilds those objects that depend on vdso-offests.h rather than everything under arch/arm64/kernel/ (Kevin's patch was also solving this). diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile b/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile index 7700c0c23962..366e4f26071f 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile @@ -55,5 +55,5 @@ head-y := head.o extra-y += $(head-y) vmlinux.lds # vDSO - this must be built first to generate the symbol offsets -$(call objectify,$(arm64-obj-y)): $(obj)/vdso/vdso-offsets.h -$(obj)/vdso/vdso-offsets.h: $(obj)/vdso +$(objtree)/include/generated/vdso-offsets.h: $(obj)/vdso + $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$< $@ diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile b/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile index b467fd0a384b..238bb2db76be 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ GCOV_PROFILE := n ccflags-y += -Wl,-shared obj-y += vdso.o -extra-y += vdso.lds vdso-offsets.h +extra-y += vdso.lds ../../../../include/generated/vdso-offsets.h CPPFLAGS_vdso.lds += -P -C -U$(ARCH) # Force dependency (incbin is bad) @@ -42,11 +42,10 @@ $(obj)/%.so: $(obj)/%.so.dbg FORCE gen-vdsosym := $(srctree)/$(src)/gen_vdso_offsets.sh quiet_cmd_vdsosym = VDSOSYM $@ define cmd_vdsosym - $(NM) $< | $(gen-vdsosym) | LC_ALL=C sort > $@ && \ - cp $@ include/generated/ + $(NM) $< | $(gen-vdsosym) | LC_ALL=C sort > $@ endef -$(obj)/vdso-offsets.h: $(obj)/vdso.so.dbg FORCE +$(objtree)/include/generated/vdso-offsets.h: $(obj)/vdso.so.dbg FORCE $(call if_changed,vdsosym) # Assembly rules for the .S files
