Interesting. I hadn't encountered that style before.
I'd seen the per-makefile config disables:
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile:GCOV_PROFILE := n
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile:KASAN_SANITIZE := n
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile:UBSAN_SANITIZE := n
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile:KCOV_INSTRUMENT := n
... and per-object config disables:
arch/arm64/mm/Makefile:KASAN_SANITIZE_physaddr.o += n
arch/arm64/mm/Makefile:KASAN_SANITIZE_kasan_init.o := n
... which AFAICT are both handled by the standard scripts/Makefile.lib idiom:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_KASAN),y)
_c_flags += $(if $(patsubst n%,, \
$(KASAN_SANITIZE_$(basetarget).o)$(KASAN_SANITIZE)y), \
$(CFLAGS_KASAN))
endif
... it seems a shame for plugins to follow a different pattern.
Thanks,
Mark.
