Linus Torvalds e7639cf1e6 Disable SLUB_TINY for build testing
[ Upstream commit 6f110a5e4f ]

... and don't error out so hard on missing module descriptions.

Before commit 6c6c1fc09d ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()")
we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when
building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1').

After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error.

And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims
to the contrary.  As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test
didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really
noticed.

The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get
disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code,
both in tests and in slub itself.  And so anybody doing full build tests
didn't actually see this failre.

So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends
up limiting build coverage.  Also turn the missing module descriptions
error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1'
builds.

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 reStructuredText 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.
