Subject: [PATCH 10/10] module: fix is_exported() to return true for all types of exports
Date: Sat,  7 Nov 2009 21:04:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257627841-15817-10-git-send-email-alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4AF5DF9F.5020208@tuffmail.co.uk>

/proc/kallsyms annotates module symbols as global (e.g. 'D' for a data
symbol) or local (e.g. 'd'), depending on whether is_exported() returns
true or false.

Historically, is_exported() only returns true if the symbol was exported
using EXPORT_SYMBOL(). EXPORT_SYMBOL_UNUSED(), for example, is not taken
into account. This looks like an oversight, so let's fix it.
