Randy reported a randconfig build error recently on i386: ld: arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.o: in function `do_jit': bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x28c9): undefined reference to `__bpf_call_base' ld: arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.o: in function `bpf_int_jit_compile': bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x3694): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_blind_constants' ld: bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x3719): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_binary_free' ld: bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x3745): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_binary_alloc' ld: bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x37d3): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_prog_release_other' [...] The cause was thatb24abcff91("bpf, kconfig: Add consolidated menu entry for bpf with core options") moved BPF_JIT from net/Kconfig into kernel/bpf/Kconfig and previously BPF_JIT was guarded by a 'if NET'. However, there is no actual dependency on NET, it's just that menuconfig NET selects BPF. And the latter in turn causes kernel/bpf/core.o to be built which contains above symbols. Randy's randconfig didn't have NET set, and BPF wasn't either, but BPF_JIT otoh was. Detangle this by making BPF_JIT depend on BPF instead. arm64 was the only arch that pulled in its JIT in net/ via obj-$(CONFIG_NET), all others unconditionally pull this dir in via obj-y. Do the same since CONFIG_NET guard there is really useless as we compiled the JIT via obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_JIT) += bpf_jit_comp.o anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
