That caused userland tools to fail (such as kmod's depmod). As depmod is used as part of the kernel build it was worth having another look whether this name change can be avoided. The main purpose of this series is to restore the original ksymtab entry names. For that to happen and to remove some rough edges around that, the relevant parts in modpost got a small refactoring as to when and how namespaces are evaluated and set in the symbol struct. Eventually, the namespace values can be read from __kstrtabns_ entries and their corresponding __ksymtab_strings values. That removes the need to carry the namespace names within the (anyway unique) symbol name entries. The last patch of this series is adopted from Masahiro [1]. By allowing 'no namespace' to be represented as empty string, large chunks of include/linux/export.h could be consolidated. Technically, this last patch is not absolutely necessary to fix functionality. It addresses concerns about maintainability and readability. While I strongly suggest sending all of the patches for 5.4, the last one could possible deferred to the next merge window. This patch applies to the modules-linus [2] branch. Changes since v2: - restored correct authorship for [4/4] - add missing contributor tags - fixed typos and code style (spaces/tabs) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190927093603.9140-5-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com/ [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux.git/log/?h=modules-linus Cc: Jessica Yu Cc: Masahiro Yamada Cc: Martijn Coenen Cc: Lucas De Marchi Cc: Shaun Ruffell Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Will Deacon Cc: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-modules@vger.kernel.org Masahiro Yamada (1): export: avoid code duplication in include/linux/export.h Matthias Maennich (3): modpost: delegate updating namespaces to separate function modpost: make updating the symbol namespace explicit symbol namespaces: revert to previous __ksymtab name scheme include/linux/export.h | 97 +++++++++++++----------------------------- kernel/module.c | 2 +- scripts/mod/modpost.c | 59 ++++++++++++++++--------- scripts/mod/modpost.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) Interdiff against v1: diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c index 7cf0065ac95f..0bf7eab80d9f 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.c +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.c @@ -357,18 +357,21 @@ static const char *namespace_from_kstrtabns(struct elf_info *info, static void sym_update_namespace(const char *symname, const char *namespace) { - struct symbol *s = find_symbol(symname); - /* That symbol should have been created earlier and thus this is - * actually an assertion. */ - if (!s) { - merror("Could not update namespace(%s) for symbol %s\n", - namespace, symname); - return; - } - - free(s->namespace); - s->namespace = - namespace && namespace[0] ?
