    kbuild: get rid of kernel/ prefix from in-tree modules.{order,builtin} · 1bd9a468
    Masahiro Yamada 提交于
    Removing the 'kernel/' prefix will make our life easier because we can
    simply do 'cat modules.order' to get all built modules with full paths.
    
    Currently, we parse the first line of '*.mod' files in $(MODVERDIR).
    Since we have duplicated functionality here, I plan to remove MODVERDIR
    entirely.
    
    In fact, modules.order is generated also for external modules in a
    broken format. It adds the 'kernel/' prefix to the absolute path of
    the module, like this:
    
      kernel//path/to/your/external/module/foo.ko
    
    This is fine for now since modules.order is not used for external
    modules. However, I want to sanitize the format everywhere towards
    the goal of removing MODVERDIR.
    
    We cannot change the format of installed module.{order,builtin}.
    So, 'make modules_install' will add the 'kernel/' prefix while copying
    them to $(MODLIB)/.
