Masahiro Yamada d0736af811 kbuild: generate Module.symvers only when vmlinux exists
[ Upstream commit 69bc8d386a ]

The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers
is missing in the kernel tree.

  WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing.
           Modules may not have dependencies or modversions.

I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may
not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire
kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups
for external modules by 'make defconfig && make modules_preapre'.

A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without
vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers
already exists in spite of its incomplete content.

The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created.

This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into
modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by
concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist.

Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and
modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it
is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it
because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.

# Stage one of module building created the following:
# a) The individual .o files used for the module
# b) A <module>.o file which is the .o files above linked together
# c) A <module>.mod file, listing the name of the preliminary <module>.o file,
# plus all .o files
# d) modules.order, which lists all the modules
# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
# 1) Find all modules listed in modules.order
# 2) modpost is then used to
# 3) create one <module>.mod.c file pr. module
# 4) create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
# section, including information such as:
# Version magic (see include/linux/vermagic.h for full details)
# - Kernel release
# - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
# - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT[_RT]
# - GCC Version
# Module info
# - Module version (MODULE_VERSION)
# - Module alias'es (MODULE_ALIAS)
# - Module license (MODULE_LICENSE)
# - See include/linux/module.h for more details
# Step 4 is solely used to allow module versioning in external modules,
# where the CRC of each module is retrieved from the Module.symvers file.
# KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid error out in case of undefined
# symbols in the final module linking stage
# KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
# This is solely useful to speed up test compiles
