Due to a missing FORCE prerequisite on an if_changed rule in the VDSO Makefile, we attempt to link a stale LE object into the new BE kernel. According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, FORCE is required for if_changed rules and forgetting it is a common mistake, so fix it by 'Forcing' the build of vdso. This patch fixes build errors like these: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o Tested-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Arun Chandran Signed-off-by: Will Deacon --- diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile b/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile index 84b942612051..ff3bddea482d 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ $(obj)/vdso-offsets.h: $(obj)/vdso.so.dbg FORCE $(call if_changed,vdsosym) # Assembly rules for the .S files -$(obj-vdso): %.o: %.S +$(obj-vdso): %.o: %.S FORCE $(call if_changed_dep,vdsoas) # Actual build commands
