find_symbol() returns the first symbol found in the hash table. This
table is global, so it may return a symbol from an unexpected module.

There is a case where we want to search for a symbol with a given name
in a specified module.

Add sym_find_with_module(), which receives the module pointer as the
second argument. It is equivalent to find_module() if NULL is passed
as the module pointer.

There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits
removed unused ones.

 - f1c3d73e ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE")
 - 36794822 ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*")

There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make
any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know
how it was exported".

If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name
does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an
exported symbol.

It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined:

   int __ksymtab_foo;

Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable
name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either).

Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not
the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case.

With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes
boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).

I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true.
Only GPL-compatible modules can use it.

I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is
unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the output from genksyms is saved in
separate *.symversions files, and will be used much later when
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because it is impossible to update LLVM bit code
here.

This approach is not robust because:

 - *.symversions may or may not exist. If *.symversions does not
   exist, we never know if it is missing for legitimate reason
   (i.e. no EXPORT_SYMBOL) or something bad has happened (for
   example, the user accidentally deleted it). Once it occurs,
   it is not self-healing because *.symversions is generated
   as a side effect.

 - stale (i.e. invalid) *.symversions might be picked up if an
   object is generated in a non-ordinary way, and corresponding
   *.symversions (, which was generated by old builds) just happen
   to exist.

A more robust approach is to save symbol versions in *.cmd files
because:

 - *.cmd always exists (if the object is generated by if_changed
   rule or friends). Even if the user accidentally deletes it,
   it will be regenerated in the next build.

 - *.cmd is always re-generated when the object is updated. This
   avoid stale version information being picked up.

I will remove *.symversions later.

Currently, sym_add_exported() does not allocate a symbol if the same

This does not reflect the real use cases. You can let an external

modpost simply ignores those symbols, then Module.symvers for the

If the same symbol is exported multiple times and we let it keep going,

The commit is not in this git repository, and might be worth a little

You can add EXPORT_SYMBOL() without having its definition in the same

This is typical when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is added in a C file, but the
actual implementation is in a separate assembly file.

One example is arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c

In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files (but
this limitation does not exist any more). If you forget to add the
definition, this error occurs.

Add a separate, clearer message for this case. It should be an error
even if KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN is given.

"The second CPIO can complain if files already exist which can happen

It is allowed to add the same objects multiple times to obj-y / obj-m:

  obj-y += foo.o foo.o foo.o
  obj-m += bar.o bar.o bar.o

It is also allowed to add the same objects multiple times to a composite
module:

  obj-m += foo.o
  foo-y := foo1.o foo2.o foo2.o foo1.o

This flexibility is useful because the same object might be selected by
different CONFIG options, like this:

  obj-m               += foo.o
  foo-y               := foo1.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_X) += foo2.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_Y) += foo2.o

The duplicated objects are omitted at link time. It works naturally in
Makefiles because GNU Make removes duplication in $^ without changing
the order.

It is working well, almost...

A small flaw I notice is, *.mod contains duplication in such a case.

This is probably not a big deal. As far as I know, the only small
problem is scripts/mod/sumversion.c parses the same file multiple
times.

I am fixing this because I plan to reuse *.mod for other purposes,
where the duplication can be problematic.

The code change is quite simple. We already use awk to drop duplicated
lines in modules.order (see cmd_modules_order in the same file).
I copied the code, but changed RS to use spaces as record separators.

I also changed the file format to list one object per line.

The *.mod files have two lines; the first line lists the member objects

otherwise, we cannot compute the second line. No prerequisite is
required to print the first line.

They are orthogonal. Splitting them into separate commands will ease
further cleanups.

This commit splits the list of undefined symbols out to *.usyms files.
