New subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] memory_driver: Ensure PWD points to the current directory
Building crash.ko broke in commit 74ac92971241 ("Support for multiple
jobs to build crash"), as PWD won't be updated on recursive calls to
'make' and will still point to the upper directory.
This leads to the 'all' target trying to build modules in the top level
directory -- where there are none.
Fix that by updating PWD to the current directory.
Fixes: 74ac92971241 ("Support for multiple jobs to build crash")

New subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] memory_driver: Use designated initializer for 'crash_dev'
Instead of using positional initialization, use the more modern
designated initializer style, as already used for 'crash_fops'.
This makes the member initialization not only less ambiguous but also
allows structure layout randomization of the underlying type (as done in
grsecurity).

New subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] memory_driver: Support overriding kernel directory
Support compiling the module against a different kernel version than the
currently running one by allowing to set either KVER or KDIR variables
on the make commandline.
Also modernize the makefile slightly and make use of the kernel's
'clean' target to ensure to remove all generated files.

Only one question, is this for to build the module in a customized
kernel tree?
It's the common pattern for external module Makefiles, making use of the
kernel's build infrastructure (see [1]). $(KERNELRELEASE) will be set
when this Makefile gets parsed again by kbuild, making it possible to
distinguish its dual use and avoiding make targets to lash with kernel
internal ones.
Thanks,
Mathias

oh, I see. I've not seen such a module Makefile, thank you for the
information. Question cleared,
