How about this?
-#define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name)
+#define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name) \
+static const struct gtype##_id gtype##_id_table \
+ __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))
We add an alias to the existing symbol. This just creates a new entry
in the symbol table. These entries are all stripped anyway and inserted
into the System.map.
Impact:
* No change to the resulting vmlinuz binary
* Increases size of System.map (~2k with the Fedora config)
