Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] kbuild: create *.mod with directory path and remove MODVERDIR


This series kills the long standing MODVERDIR.

Since MODVERDIR has a flat structure, it cannot avoid a race
condition when somebody introduces a module name conflict.

Kbuild now reads modules.order to get the list of all modules.

The post-processing/installation stages will be more robust
and simpler.


Masahiro Yamada (11):
  kbuild: do not create empty modules.order in the prepare stage
  kbuild: get rid of kernel/ prefix from in-tree modules.{order,builtin}
  kbuild: remove duplication from modules.order in sub-directories
  scsi: remove pointless $(MODVERDIR)/$(obj)/53c700.ver
  kbuild: modinst: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod
  kbuild: modsign: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod
  kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod
  kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIR
  kbuild: remove the first line of *.mod files
  kbuild: remove 'prepare1' target
  kbuild: split out *.mod out of {single,multi}-used-m rules
