Modify kbuild to convert relative include and source paths to absolute
form. Also change the module versioning mechanism to alter object file
names only after compiling.
Required by the gcov profiling infrastructure: source paths are
referenced by the compiled object files. Using relative paths or
object file names which are different from the source name would
prevent the gcov tool from finding the corresponding source files.
For the relative path issue do you really fix this at the right place?
I would say that teaching gcov tool from where to look would be better.
Also change the module versioning mechanism to alter object fileCan I get this as a separate patch please.
names only after compiling.
It may be general useful and makes sense to look at alone.
