      modpost: remove annoying namespace_from_kstrtabns() · 79f646e8
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      There are two call sites for sym_update_namespace().

When the symbol has no namespace, s->namespace is set to NULL,
but the conversion from "" to NULL is done in two different places.

[1] read_symbols()

  This gets the namespace from __kstrtabns_<symbol>. If the symbol has
  no namespace, sym_get_data(info, sym) returns the empty string "".
  namespace_from_kstrtabns() converts it to NULL before it is passed to
  sym_update_namespace().

[2] read_dump()

  This gets the namespace from the dump file, *.symvers. If the symbol
  has no namespace, the 'namespace' is the empty string "", which is
  directly passed into sym_update_namespace(). The conversion from
  "" to NULL is done in sym_update_namespace().

namespace_from_kstrtabns() exists only for creating this inconsistency.

Remove namespace_from_kstrtabns() so that sym_update_namespace() is
consistently passed with "" instead of NULL.

      modpost: move export_from_secname() call to more relevant place · 535b3e05
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      The assigned 'export' is only used when

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_"))

is met. The else-part of the assignment is the dead code.

Move the export_from_secname() call to where it is used.

      modpost: remove useless export_from_sec() · 7ce3e410
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      With commit 1743694e ("modpost: stop symbol preloading for
modversion CRC") applied, now export_from_sec() is useless.

handle_symbol() is called for every symbol in the ELF.

When 'symname' does not start with "__ksymtab", export_from_sec() is
called, and the returned value is stored in 'export'.

It is used in the last part of handle_symbol():

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")) {
            name = symname + strlen("__ksymtab_");
            sym_add_exported(name, mod, export);
    }

'export' is used only when 'symname' starts with "__ksymtab_".

So, the value returned by export_from_sec() is never used.

Remove useless export_from_sec(). This makes further cleanups possible.

I put the temporary code:

    export = export_unknown;

Otherwise, I would get the compiler warning:

    warning: 'export' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This is apparently false positive because

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")

... is a stronger condition than:

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab")

Anyway, this part will be cleaned up by the next commit.
