Did not try CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n.

We have a new file:

[ include/linux/export-internal.h ]
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only */
/*
* Please do not include this explicitly.
* This is used by C files generated by modpost.
*/

#ifndef __LINUX_EXPORT_INTERNAL_H__
#define __LINUX_EXPORT_INTERNAL_H__

#include <linux/compiler.h>
#include <linux/types.h>

#define SYMBOL_CRC(sym, crc, sec) \
u32 __section("___kcrctab" sec "+" #sym) __crc_##sym = crc

#endif /* __LINUX_EXPORT_INTERNAL_H__ */

But we discard __kcrctab in scripts/module.lds.S file.

Maybe we need:

$ git diff scripts/module.lds.S
diff --git a/scripts/module.lds.S b/scripts/module.lds.S
index 1d0e1e4dc3d2..c04b596c364b 100644
