[PATCH 2/2] export.h, genksyms: do not make genksyms calculate CRC of trimmed symbols

[Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>]

Arnd Bergmann reported false-positive modpost warnings detected by
his randconfig testing of linux-next:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/6/619

Actually, this happens under the combination of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost:
check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions").

For example, arch/arm/config/multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
+ CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y produces the following false-positives:

WARNING: "__lshrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_lasr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "ftrace_set_clr_event" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__muldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_ulcmp" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ucmpdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_lmul" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__bswapsi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__bswapdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsl" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)

The root cause of the problem is not in the modpost, but in the
implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS.

If there is at least one untrimmed symbol in the file, genksyms is
invoked to calculate CRC of *all* the symbols in that file even if
some of them have been trimmed due to no caller existing.

As a result, .tmp_*.ver files contain CRC of trimmed symbols, thus
unneeded __crc* symbols are added to objects. It has been harmless
until recently.

Since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*
functions"), it is harmful because the bogus __crc* symbols make
modpost call sym_update_crc(), and then new_symbol(), but there is
no one that clears the ->is_static member.

I gave Fixes to the first commit that uncovered the issue, but the
potential problem has long existed since commit f235541699bc
("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").

Fixes: 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions")
