This patch set refactors EXPORT_SYMBOL, <linux/export.h> and <asm/export.h>.
Also, re-implement TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass.

You can still put EXPORT_SYMBOL() in *.S file, very close to the definition,
but you do not need to care about whether it is a function or a data.
Remove EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL().

In v1, I broke ia64 because of missing distinction between functions and data.

V2 handles it correctly.
If the exported symbols is a function, KSYMTAB_FUNC is output.
Otherwise, KSYMTAB_DATA is output.


Changes in v3:
  - Move to the head of the series
  - New patch
  - Move struct kernel_symbol to kernel/module/internal.h
  - Some cleanups

Changes in v2:
  - New patch
  - Use KSYMTAB_FUNC and KSYMTAB_DATA for functions and data, respectively
    This distinction is needed for ia64.
  - New patch
  - New patch

Masahiro Yamada (8):
  kbuild: move modules.builtin(.modinfo) rules to Makefile.vmlinux_o
  kbuild: rebuild .vmlinux.export.o when its prerequisite is updated
  kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost
  ia64,export.h: replace EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL* with EXPORT_SYMBOL*
  modpost: squash sym_update_namespace() into sym_add_exported()
  modpost: use null string instead of NULL pointer for default namespace
  modpost: squash report_sec_mismatch() and remove enum mismatch
  kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion
