'make nsdeps' invokes the modpost three times at most; before linking vmlinux, before building modules, and finally for generating .ns_deps files. Running the modpost again and again is not efficient. The last two can be unified. When the -d option is given, the modpost still does the usual job, and in addition, generates .ns_deps files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
