[PATCH] kbuild: fix call to adjust_autoksyms.sh when output directory specified

[PATCH] kbuild: fix call to adjust_autoksyms.sh when output directory specified

[Nicolas Ferre]

When a different output directory is specified during the build process (with
O= or KBUILD_OUTPUT), the call to adjust_autoksyms.sh script fails with the
following error:
/bin/sh scripts/adjust_autoksyms.sh \
	  "make KBUILD_MODULES=1 -f ../Makefile autoksyms_recursive"
	  /bin/sh: scripts/adjust_autoksyms.sh: No such file or directory
	  make[2]: *** [vmlinux] Error 127
	  make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
	  make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2

Using the absolute path with $(srctree) variable solves the problem.

This is in case the CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option is specified.

Hi Nicolas,

I found this issue while running on today's Linux-next with my ARM
cross-compiler.
I suspect it's the proper way to fix the issue but I may miss some of the
details of the top kernel Makefile.
It does work for my separated output directory setup and I verified it still
compiles an in-sources setup as well (even if it's obvious...).

Bye,

I posted a few fixes for this and some other issues already.

You may grab them all at once from this branch where I committed them on 
top of Michal's kbuild branch:
