Currently, all files with EXPORT_SYMBOL() are rebuilt when CONFIG_MODULES is flipped due to <linux/export.h> depending on CONFIG_MODULES. Now that modpost can make a final decision about export symbols, <linux/export.h> does not need to make EXPORT_SYMBOL() no-op. Instead, modpost can skip emitting KSYMTAB when CONFIG_MODULES is unset. This commit will reduce the number of recompilation when CONFIG_MODULES is toggled. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
