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.

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,
|
|
# where the CRC of each module is retrieved from the Module.symvers file.
|

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

# symbols in the final module linking stage
|

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

# This is solely useful to speed up test compiles
