Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> wrote: We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library routines with all module objects. The routines are intended for handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to link the same "library" code into the kernel). Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail to build modules with the added register save/restore module. There were two obvious solutions: 1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage 2) To ignore the symbols in modpost Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate linking stage for single file modules. This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc. The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named: _restgpr_*, _savegpr_*, _rest32gpr_*, _save32gpr_* Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> |
