Subject: openrisc: export __mulsi3 for modules
Date: Wed Oct 28 06:24:22 PM PDT 2026

OpenRISC configurations without hardware multiplication fail to build
modules which contain compiler-generated calls to __mulsi3.  The failure
is widespread, affecting filesystems, drivers and KUnit tests at modpost.

When CONFIG_OPENRISC_HAVE_INST_MUL is disabled, the architecture Makefile
passes -msoft-mul to GCC.  The multiplication helper is supplied by the
libgcc archive linked into vmlinux, but or32_ksyms.c does not export it. 
Built-in callers can therefore link while module callers cannot resolve
the symbol.

Export __mulsi3 alongside the other compiler-generated helpers.

The omission predates 7c3f4d699f34 ("resource, kunit: stop selecting
GET_FREE_REGION"), which the robot identified when reporting an additional
failing module.  It was already present in the initial OpenRISC export
list.
