Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] module: Add module specific symbol namespace support
Date: Fri, 02 May 2025 16:12:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250502141844.046738270@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250502141204.500293812@infradead.org

Designate the "module:${modname}" symbol namespace to mean: 'only
export to the named module'.

Notably, explicit imports of anything in the "module:" space is
forbidden.
