drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds a static library, which
is not linked into the main vmlinux target in the ordinary way [arm64],
or at all [ARM, x86].
Since commit:
7f2084fa55 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably")
any Makefile using lib-y generates lib-ksyms.o which is linked into vmlinux.
In this case, the following garbage object is linked into vmlinux.
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-ksyms.o
We do not want to follow the default linking rules for static libraries
built under libstub/ so using subdir-y instead of obj-y is the correct
way to descend into this directory.

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.
