Summary of modules changes for the 5.4 merge window: - Introduce exported symbol namespaces. This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module authors are now required to import the namespaces they need. Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst. - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABCgAGBQJdh3n8AAoJEMBFfjjOO8Fy94kP+QHZF39QDvLbxAzEYAETAS+o CFu6wix/DrAwFkTU/kX1eAsAwDBEz0xkMciR4BsLX3sIafUVERxtDXVAui/dA1+6 zfw2c3ObyVwPEk6aUPFprgkj+08gxujsJFlYTsQQUhtRbmxg6R7hD6t6ANxiHaY2 AQe5TzOWXoIa2hHO+7rPMqf8l6qiFCaL0s3v5jrmBXa5mHmc4PVy95h1J6xQVw2u b+SlvKeylHv+OtCtvthkAJS3hfS35J/1TNb/RNYIvh60IfEguEuFsGuQ9JiSSAZS pv1cJ+I5d4v8Y/md1rZpdjTJL9gCrq/UUC67+UkejCOn0C+7XM2eR4Bu/jWvdMSn ZQDHcPhFSIfmP7FaKomPogaBbw1sI1FvM5930pPJzHnyO9+cefBXe7rWaaB+y0At GAxOtmk1dKh01BT7YO/C0oVuX87csWd74NHypVsbs0TgQo5jBFdZRheyDrq5YB+s tVK+5H0nqQrCcfo/TvhcsZlgITTGtgTPenaW99/i7qNa9mRUtxC/VkE+aob6HNRF 1iBxxopOTxGN8akyKOVumtkuTQH3EJfouZee//pWbXLzyDmScg/k67vuao8kxbyq NA1piFAGJAHFsHATxrbvNOq6jZ5bfUT8pwSTs83JppuR++8Hxk7zaShS3/LvsvHt 6ist/epOwTZ7oiNQ04nj =72Uy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7) and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface. Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

# Stage one of module building created the following:
|
|
# a) The individual .o files used for the module
|
|
# b) A <module>.o file which is the .o files above linked together
|
|
# c) A <module>.mod file, listing the name of the preliminary <module>.o file,
|
|
# plus all .o files
|
|
# d) modules.order, which lists all the modules
|
|
|
|
# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
|
|
# 1) Find all modules listed in modules.order
|
|
# 2) modpost is then used to
|
|
# 3) create one <module>.mod.c file pr. module
|
|
# 4) create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
|
|
|
|
# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
|
|
# section, including information such as:
|
|
# Version magic (see include/linux/vermagic.h for full details)
|
|
# - Kernel release
|
|
# - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
|
|
# - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT[_RT]
|
|
# - GCC Version
|
|
# Module info
|
|
# - Module version (MODULE_VERSION)
|
|
# - Module alias'es (MODULE_ALIAS)
|
|
# - Module license (MODULE_LICENSE)
|
|
# - See include/linux/module.h for more details

# Step 4 is solely used to allow module versioning in external modules,
|

# KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid error out in case of undefined

# KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.

# This is solely useful to speed up test compiles
