When COMPILED_SOURCE is set, running
make ARCH=x86_64 COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope tags
could throw the following errors:
scripts/tags.sh: line 98: /usr/bin/realpath: Argument list too long
cscope: no source files found
scripts/tags.sh: line 98: /usr/bin/realpath: Argument list too long
ctags: No files specified. Try "ctags --help".
This is most likely to happen when the kernel is configured to build a
large number of modules, which has the consequence of passing too many
arguments when calling 'realpath' in 'all_compiled_sources()'.
Let's improve this by invoking 'realpath' through 'xargs', which takes
care of properly limiting the argument list.

While preparing for Clang randstruct support (which duplicated many of
the warnings the randstruct GCC plugin warned about), one strange one
remained only for the randstruct GCC plugin. Eliminating this rids
the plugin of the last exception.
It seems the plugin is happy to dereference individual members of
a cross-struct cast, but it is upset about casting to a whole object
pointer. This only manifests in one place in the kernel, so just replace
the variable with individual member accesses. There is no change in
executable instruction output.
Drop the last exception from the randstruct GCC plugin.

bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000005fe0 end: 0x0000000000005fe0
The problem is that faddr2line is based on 'nm', which has a major
limitation: it doesn't know how to distinguish between different text
sections. So if an offset exists in multiple text sections in the
object, it may fail.
Rewrite faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on readelf.

There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits
removed unused ones.
- f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE")
- 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*")
There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make
any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know
how it was exported".
If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name
does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an
exported symbol.
It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined:
int __ksymtab_foo;
Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable
name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either).
Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not
the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case.
With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes
boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).
I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true.
Only GPL-compatible modules can use it.
I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is
unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the output from genksyms is saved in
separate *.symversions files, and will be used much later when
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because it is impossible to update LLVM bit code
here.
This approach is not robust because:
- *.symversions may or may not exist. If *.symversions does not
exist, we never know if it is missing for legitimate reason
(i.e. no EXPORT_SYMBOL) or something bad has happened (for
example, the user accidentally deleted it). Once it occurs,
it is not self-healing because *.symversions is generated
as a side effect.
- stale (i.e. invalid) *.symversions might be picked up if an
object is generated in a non-ordinary way, and corresponding
*.symversions (, which was generated by old builds) just happen
to exist.
A more robust approach is to save symbol versions in *.cmd files
because:
- *.cmd always exists (if the object is generated by if_changed
rule or friends). Even if the user accidentally deletes it,
it will be regenerated in the next build.
- *.cmd is always re-generated when the object is updated. This
avoid stale version information being picked up.
I will remove *.symversions later.

This does not reflect the real use cases. You can let an external

You can add EXPORT_SYMBOL() without having its definition in the same

This is typical when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is added in a C file, but the
actual implementation is in a separate assembly file.
One example is arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c
In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files (but
this limitation does not exist any more). If you forget to add the
definition, this error occurs.
Add a separate, clearer message for this case. It should be an error
even if KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN is given.

The description,
it may have already been added without a
CRC, in this case just update the CRC
... is no longer valid.
In the old days, this function was used to update the CRC as well.
Commit 040fcc819a2e ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for
external modules") started to use a separate function (sym_update_crc)
for updating the CRC.
The first part, "Add an exported symbol" is correct, but it is too
obvious from the function name. Drop this comment entirely.

If an error occurs, modpost will fail anyway. Do not write out
any content (, which might be invalid).
