[PATCH 03/10] module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option

From: Alan Jenkins
Date: Sat Nov 07 2009 - 16:06:05 EST


The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.

This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.

A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).
