[ Upstream commit e07db28eea38ed4e332b3a89f3995c86b713cb5b ] Building a single target in an external module fails due to missing .tmp_versions directory. For example, $ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD foo.o will fail in the following way: CC [M] /home/masahiro/foo/foo.o /bin/sh: 1: cannot create /home/masahiro/foo/.tmp_versions/foo.mod: Directory nonexistent This is because $(cmd_crmodverdir) is executed only before building /, %/, %.ko single targets of external modules. Create .tmp_versions in the 'prepare' target. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
