kbuild: Skip module BTF generation for out-of-tree external modules
In some modes of operation, Kbuild allows to build modules without having vmlinux image around. In such case, generation of module BTF is impossible. This patch changes the behavior to emit a warning about impossibility of generating kernel module BTF, instead of breaking the build. This is especially important for out-of-tree external module builds. In vmlinux-less mode: $ make clean $ make modules_prepare $ touch drivers/acpi/button.c $ make M=drivers/acpi ... CC [M] drivers/acpi/button.o MODPOST drivers/acpi/Module.symvers LD [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko BTF [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko Skipping BTF generation for drivers/acpi/button.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux ... $ readelf -S ~/linux-build/default/drivers/acpi/button.ko | grep BTF -A1 ... empty ...
