Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: take vmlinux.[ao] out of single-targets
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2024 00:16:06 +0000
Message-Id: <20240115001606.15477-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

For current kernel, when we make vmlinux.a or vmlinux.o, following
message would display.

$make vmlinux.o
/dir/to/kernel/Makefile:1887: warning: overriding recipe for target 'vmlinux.o'
/dir/to/kernel/Makefile:1138: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 'vmlinux.o'
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'vmlinux.o'.

The reason is vmlinux.[ao] is treated as single target, while the rule
is written in root Makefile.

This patch fixes this by take them out of single-targets.
