The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump file or ELF object. This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe this makes more sense. sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
