Towards the goal of removing MODVERDIR, read out modules.order to get the list of modules to be processed. This is simpler than parsing *.mod files in $(MODVERDIR). For external modules, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/modules.order should be read. I removed the single target %.ko from the top Makefile. To make sure modpost works correctly, vmlinux and the other modules must be built. You cannot build a particular .ko file alone. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
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.
