Subject: watchdog: Missing Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV and CONFIG_WATCHDOG_CORE
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 21:45:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <00e44870397dd49a9c9989d6c22eabe650f5b9ca.camel@illinois.edu> (raw)
Hi,
I compiled my kernel with CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV=y and
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_CORE=n and encountered compilation errors. I later
found in the Makefile that it's because CONFIG_WATCHDOG_CORE is not
enabled hence watchdog.o is not compiled, however, the Kconfig misses
this dependency. I sent this email to confirm if this is a bug and
hopfully someone can fix it.
Snippet for the Makefile
```
# Makefile for the WatchDog device drivers.
#
# The WatchDog Timer Driver Core.
obj-$(CONFIG_WATCHDOG_CORE) += watchdog.o
watchdog-objs += watchdog_core.o watchdog_dev.o
watchdog-$(CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV) += watchdog_pretimeout.o
obj-$(CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_NOOP) += pretimeout_noop.o
obj-$(CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_PANIC) += pretimeout_panic.o
```
Snippet for the Kconfig
```
config WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV
bool "Enable watchdog pretimeout governors"
help
The option allows to select watchdog pretimeout governors.
```
Compilation errors
```
ld: drivers/watchdog/pretimeout_noop.o: in function
`watchdog_gov_noop_unregister':
pretimeout_noop.c:(.exit.text+0x8): undefined reference to
`watchdog_unregister_governor'

Thank you!
