KBUILD_SYMTYPES

Build symtypes files can be enabled with the --kbuild_symtypes flag. For example:

$ bazel build --kbuild_symtypes //common:kernel_aarch64

$ bazel run --kbuild_symtypes //common:kernel_aarch64_dist

You may find the *.symtypes files under the bazel-bin/<package_name>/<target_name>/symtypes directory, where <target_name> is the name of the kernel_build() macro. In the above example, the symtypes file can be found at

bazel-bin/common/kernel_aarch64/symtypes/

Confirming the value of --kbuild_symtypes

You may build the following to confirm the value of --kbuild_symtypes:

$ tools/bazel build [flags] //build/kernel/kleaf:print_flags

Note: This only prints whether the flag is set or not for kernel_build() with kbuild_symtypes="auto". If a kernel_build() macro has kbuild_symtypes="true" or "false", the value of KBUILD_SYMTYPES is not affected by the --kbuild_symtypes flag.
