Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] module: Move 'struct module_signature' to UAPI
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2026 08:11:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305-module-signature-uapi-v2-5-dc4d81129dee@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305-module-signature-uapi-v2-0-dc4d81129dee@linutronix.de>

This structure definition is used outside the kernel proper.
For example in kmod and the kernel build environment.

To allow reuse, move it to a new UAPI header.

While it is not a true UAPI, it is a common practice to have
non-UAPI interface definitions in the kernel's UAPI headers.
