The following Kconfig constellations fail randconfig builds:
CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT=y
CONFIG_EDAC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_EDAC_SKX=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I10NM=y
or
CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT=y
CONFIG_EDAC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_EDAC_SKX=y
CONFIG_EDAC_I10NM=m
with:
...
CC [M] drivers/edac/skx_common.o
...
.../skx_common.o:.../skx_common.c:672: undefined reference to `__this_module'
That is because if one of the two drivers - skx_edac or i10nm_edac - is
built-in and the other one is a module, the shared file skx_common.c
gets linked into a module object by kbuild. Therefore, when linking that
same file into vmlinux, the '__this_module' symbol used in debugfs isn't
defined, leading to the above error.
Fix it by moving all debugfs code from skx_common.c to both skx_base.c
and i10nm_base.c respectively. Thus, skx_common.c doesn't refer to the
'__this_module' symbol anymore.
Clarify skx_common.c's purpose at the top of the file for future
reference, while at it.

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.
