# ===========================================================================
# Module versions
# ===========================================================================
#
# Stage one of module building created the following:
# a) The individual .o files used for the module
# b) A <module>.o file wich is the .o files above linked together
# c) A <module>.mod file in $(MODVERDIR)/, listing the name of the
#    the preliminary <module>.o file, plus all .o files

# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
# 1) Find all modules from the files listed in $(MODVERDIR)/
# 2) modpost is then used to
# 3)  create one <module>.mod.c file pr. module
# 4)  create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
# 5) compile all <module>.mod.c files
# 6) final link of the module to a <module.ko> file

# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
# section, including information such as:
#   Version magic (see include/vermagic.h for full details)
#     - Kernel release
#     - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
#     - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT
#     - GCC Version
#   Module info
#     - Module version (MODULE_VERSION)
#     - Module alias'es (MODULE_ALIAS)
#     - Module license (MODULE_LICENSE)
#     - See include/linux/module.h for more details

# Step 4 is solely used to allow module versioning in external modules,
# where the CRC of each module is retreived from the Module.symers file.
