Starting from linux commit 13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working
directory to external module directory with M="), the kpatch-build
fails:
make -C /root/linux M=/root/.kpatch/tmp/patch CFLAGS_MODULE=''
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/linux'
make[2]: Entering directory '/root/.kpatch/tmp/patch'
LDS kpatch.lds
make -C /root/linux M=/root/.kpatch/tmp/patch CFLAGS_MODULE='' patch-hook.o
***
*** The external module source tree is not clean.
*** Please run 'make -C /root/linux M=/root/linux clean'
***
The easiest and quickest way to fix the build is to remove the
$(KPATCH_MAKE) patch-hook.o in Makefile. Unfortunately this would mean
make `patch-hook.o` cannot be performed directly. However the Makefile
still lists patch-hook.o's source dependencies, so if any are updated,
the kpatch module would be rebuilt anyway.
Thanks for Sumanth Korikkar for reporting, debugging, and suggesting
this workaround.
