Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] Unify <linux/export.h> and <asm/export.h>, remove EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(), faster TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2022 15:39:39 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220928063947.299333-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)
This patch set refactors EXPORT_SYMBOL, <linux/export.h> and <asm/export.h>.
Also, re-implement TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass.
You can still put EXPORT_SYMBOL() in *.S file, very close to the definition,
but you do not need to care about whether it is a function or a data.
Remove EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL().
In v1, I broke ia64 because of missing distinction between functions and data.
V2 handles it correctly.
If the exported symbols is a function, KSYMTAB_FUNC is output.
Otherwise, KSYMTAB_DATA is output.
Changes in v3:
- Move to the head of the series
- New patch
- Move struct kernel_symbol to kernel/module/internal.h
- Some cleanups
Changes in v2:
- New patch
- Use KSYMTAB_FUNC and KSYMTAB_DATA for functions and data, respectively
This distinction is needed for ia64.
- New patch
- New patch
Masahiro Yamada (8):
kbuild: move modules.builtin(.modinfo) rules to Makefile.vmlinux_o
kbuild: rebuild .vmlinux.export.o when its prerequisite is updated
kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost
ia64,export.h: replace EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL* with EXPORT_SYMBOL*
modpost: squash sym_update_namespace() into sym_add_exported()
modpost: use null string instead of NULL pointer for default namespace
modpost: squash report_sec_mismatch() and remove enum mismatch
kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion
