Subject: [PATCH] retpoline/modpost: Quieten MODVERSION retpoline build
Date: Fri,  5 Jan 2018 10:28:59 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180105182859.20458-1-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The internal retpoline thunks used by the compiler contain a dot.

They have to be exported, but modversions cannot handle them
it because they don't have a prototype due to the C incompatible
name (and it doesn't support asm("..."))

This leads to lots of warnings from modpost with a retpoline
build with MODVERSIONS enabled. The actual symbols load fine,
they just don't get versioned. That's not a problem here
because we don't expect them to change ever.

Quieten the respective warning messages in modpost for any
symbols containing a dot.
