Subject: [PATCH] sparc64: fix kconfig dependency bug for COMPAT
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2020 02:06:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201102230601.644472-1-fazilyildiran@gmail.com> (raw)

When COMPAT is enabled and BINFMT_ELF is disabled, it results in the
following Kbuild warning:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF
  Depends on [n]: COMPAT [=y] && BINFMT_ELF [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - COMPAT [=y] && SPARC64 [=y]

The reason is that COMPAT selects COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF without depending on
or selecting BINFMT_ELF while COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF depends on BINFMT_ELF.
This can also fail building the kernel as demonstrated in a bug report.

Honor the kconfig dependency to remove unmet direct dependency warnings
and avoid any potential build failures.
