Did you > try it? My tree doesn't have this patch yet, so my questions can be stupid: 1. Will it print "Skipping BTF generation for ... due to unavailability of vmlinux" line if my .config doesn't have "CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES"? I hope it is not. 2. Reliance on existence of vmlinux can be problematic, no one promises us that "make clean" is called before and there are no other leftovers from previous builds. And in general, the idea that such invasive change in build infrastructure came without any Ack from relevant maintainers doesn't look right to me.

I'm open to > suggestions on how to do it better, though. You can rely on MODPOST_VMLINUX variable to differentiate between builds of modules vs. vmlinux. Proper message during kernel boot that vmlinux BTF doesn't match module can be enough, because in real world you won't load that recompiled vmlinux without "make install" first. So right now, from out-of-tree modules perspective, you are testing against some pseudo-random file. BTW, I tried your patch with and without vmlinux, it worked, so we are talking about better-to-fix and not must-to-fix thing.
