So now we have something in 2.4.0-test10, but there's
still a problem. Help is appreciated^W wanted. !!!
With CONFIG_USB=y and all other USB modules built as
modules (=m), linking usbdrv.o into the kernel image
gives this:
ld -m elf_i386 -T /work/linsrc/240-test10/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext
arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o

drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.data+0x2f4): undefined reference to
`__this_module'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
[rdunlap@dragon linux]$
I believe that this is caused by drivers/usb/inode.c:
static DECLARE_FSTYPE(usbdevice_fs_type, "usbdevfs",
usbdevfs_read_super, 0);
in which this macro uses "THIS_MODULE". inode.c already #includes
module.h. What else does it need to do?
(inode.c is part of the usbcore in this case, so it shouldn't be
compiled with -DMODULE.)
Help ?!?
