From a64021d3726a096442d63a958ff0c49c12c3a1f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Alcock Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 14:10:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild, drivers/perf: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message. So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as modules.
