From: Jing Leng <jleng@ambarella.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.141 commit ad697ade5939b5a40eb65b557083d083cf129790 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I685FC Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 23a0cb8e3225122496bfa79172005c587c2d64bf upstream. When building an external module, if users don't need to separate the compilation output and source code, they run the following command: "make -C $(LINUX_SRC_DIR) M=$(PWD)". At this point, "$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)" and "$(src)" are the same. If they need to separate them, they run "make -C $(KERNEL_SRC_DIR) O=$(KERNEL_OUT_DIR) M=$(OUT_DIR) src=$(PWD)". Before running the command, they need to copy "Kbuild" or "Makefile" to "$(OUT_DIR)" to prevent compilation failure. So the kernel should change the included path to avoid the copy operation.
