Subject: [PATCH] modpost: move the namespace field in Module.symvers last
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 18:03:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200304170345.21218-1-jeyu@kernel.org> (raw)
In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to
move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E
option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol
versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc,
symbol, module).
Fixes: cb9b55d21fe0 ("modpost: add support for symbol namespaces")

The fields are separated by tabs and values may be empty (e.g.
if no namespace is defined for an exported symbol).
