| |
I see that if I do something like "make SUBDIRS=net/ipv4 modules", I get warnings like:
*** Warning: Overriding SUBDIRS on the command line can cause inconsistencies *** Uh-oh, you have stale module entries. You messed with SUBDIRS
What is the proper way to rebuild just one subdirectory? How about for building externally provided modules? Is this is a new limitation of kbuild? If so, I think it will reduce my productivity, and probably developer productivity on average. I need to rebuild small sets of modules or core kernel subdirectories frequently. I'd like to know what benefits I get from this so that I can measure whether this really saves me time somehow.
I suspect that this was added to support putting module dependencies into the ".ko" files, which might be underlying issue that needs a cost/benefit review, but perhaps there is some other factor that I'm just unaware of.
Any answers to these questions would be appreciated.
