arm64/mm: export contpte symbols only to GPL users
Patch series "Address some contpte nits". These 2 patches address some nits raised by Catalin late in the review cycle for my contpte series [1]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240215103205.2607016-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com/ This patch (of 2): The contpte symbols must be exported since some of the public inline ptep_* APIs are called from modules and these inlines now call the contpte functions. Originally they were exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL() for fear of breaking out-of-tree modules. But we subsequently concluded that EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() should be safe since these functions are deeply core mm routines, and any module operating at this level is not going to be able to survive on EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.
