This can be found in build log for first clean build which shows WARNING: EXPORT symbol "XXXX" [drivers/XXX/XXX.ko] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. But in second build(incremental build), the WARNING disappeared and the module version becomes valid CRC and make someone who want to change modules without updating kernel image can't insert their modules. The problematic code is + $(foreach n, $(filter-out FORCE,$^), \ + $(if $(wildcard $(n).symversions), \ + ; cat $(n).symversions >> $@.symversions)) For example: rm -f fs/notify/built-in.a.symversions ; rm -f fs/notify/built-in.a; \ llvm-ar cDPrST fs/notify/built-in.a fs/notify/fsnotify.o \ fs/notify/notification.o fs/notify/group.o ... `foreach n` shows nothing to `cat` into $(n).symversions because `if $(wildcard $(n).symversions)` return nothing, but actual...
