KBuild fails while compiling without debugging flag - c

I am trying to compile a very simple module, but it fails to create *.ko when i am not adding -g flag. Here is the source code:
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
static int simple_test_init(void){
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello Kernel!");
return 0;
}
static void simple_test_exit(void){
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye Kernel!");
}
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Simple test module");
module_init(simple_test_init);
module_exit(simple_test_exit);
And here is GCC/Makefile.
KBUILD_CFLAGS := -Werror -fcf-protection=branch
obj-m += test.o
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
And finally the output of GCC.
make -C /lib/modules/5.19.3-arch1-1/build M=/test modules

MODULE_LICENSE is defined but undetected in linux kernel 5.X

I have a simple kernel module with multiple objects. When I compile it, it prompts me that MODULE_LICENSE is missing. It's defined in the main.o but somehow undetected by the compiler:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/5.14.0-105.el9.x86_64'
CC [M] /tmp/linux5-multi-files/util.o
LD [M] /tmp/linux5-multi-files/main.o

On older Linux (centos 6-7) it works fine, but on CentOS 8 and CentOS 9, it no longer works. What was wrong? I've attached all the files.
-- attached all files --
Makefile
main-objs := util.o
obj-m += main.o
build:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` clean

#include "util.h"

{
}
static int __init startup(void)
{
test();
return 0;
}
module_init(startup);
module_exit(cleanup);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Linux");
util.h
#ifndef UTIL_H
#define UTIL_H
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
void test(void);
#endif
util.c
#include "util.h"
void test()
{
printk(KERN_INFO "whatever\n");
}
To further debug this issue, I've added -v to the ccflags, and main.c is not even compiled on CentOS 8!
So far it looks like the module name can't be the same as the object name, so I have to modify the makefile to something like this:
xxx-objs := main.o util.o
obj-m += xxx.o
And the problem is gone.

How to read a text file from Linux Kernel Module (Linux Kernel 5.11.0)

I want to read a txt file and write another txt file in kernel module
How should I do ?
I have seen many website.
It seems like it has many ways to solve this question
ex : filp_read() or kernel_read() or vfs_read()
[Sloved] But I have tried many times, it couldn't makefile.
[Answer] Use mv make Makefile
reverse.c
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/uaccess.h>
static char buf[] ="It's from linux kernel\n";
static char buf1[32];
int __init test_init(void)
{
struct file *fp;
mm_segment_t fs;
loff_t pos;
printk("test enter\n");
fp =filp_open("/home/j0000/Desktop/file/kernel_file",O_RDWR | O_CREAT,0644);
if (IS_ERR(fp)){
printk("create file error\n");
return -1;
}
fs =get_fs();
set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
pos =0;
vfs_write(fp,buf, sizeof(buf), &pos);
pos =0;
vfs_read(fp,buf1, sizeof(buf), &pos);
printk("Write contet=%s\n",buf1);
filp_close(fp,NULL);
set_fs(fs);
return 0;
}
void __exit test_exit(void)
{
printk("test exit\n");
}
module_init(test_init);
module_exit(test_exit);

I have seen these error many times~
So may I ask why it can't use get_fs & set_fs in this situation

Actually I use this website for tutorial
https://www.cnblogs.com/arnoldlu/p/8879800.html
After all, I will use kernel_read & kernel_write to fix my bug.
Thanks for answering my question :)

Linux Kernel Module - Producing two modules with shared local header

I have the following files: buffer.c, buffer.h, chardevin.c, chardevout.c and Makefile. Both chardevin.c and chardevout.c are kernel modules. Both kernel modules include buffer.h, which is implemented by buffer.c. Ideally, I'd like the makefile to make both kernel modules while linking the buffer implementation (i.e. produce chardevin.ko and chardevout.ko). I can't seem to figure this part out...
Here's the contents of my Makefile:
obj-m += chardevin.o chardevout.o
obj-y += buffer.c
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build/ M=$(PWD) modules
I get the following as output, however:
kylemart#ubuntu:/mnt/hgfs/ucf-os-linux/SplitDriverWithMutex$ make

Here's the contents of buffer.h:

#define BUFFER_H
ssize_t buffer_write(const char *src, size_t n);
ssize_t buffer_read(char *dest, size_t n);

#endif
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
Changed "buffer.c" to "buffer.o" in the Makefile. Here's the output:

Netbeans Error when running a simple c program

If I manually compile the code below, I got no error:
