Subject: [PATCH 1/4] KBUILD: overview
Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 16:55:46 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060510235546.3006547002E@localhost> (raw)

Patch 2/4: adds export-type information of each exported symbol in
	Module.symvers file.

Patch 3/4: Builds on functionality provided by patch 2. It prevents kbuild from
	   producing modules that won't load.

Patch 4/4: provides the report generation functionality, using the
	   functionality provided by patch 2.

	A report generated by executing 
		make allmodconfig
		make exportcheck
	is available at http://www.sudhaa.com/~ram/misc/new_export_report.txt

	This report lists:
	1. the usage count of all exported symbols by in-kernel modules.
	2. For each in-kernel module lists
		a) the in-kernel modules it depend on.
		b) list of exported symbols from that in-kernel modules it 
		   depend on.

	The same report can also be generated by executing from the top level
	directory:
		perl scripts/export_report.pl
