Re: [linux-next-20130822] module: broken module versions?

[Tetsuo Handa]

I noticed that symbols which cause "disagrees about version of symbol" messages
have crc == 0.

---------- scripts/mod/modpost.c ----------
 	/* CRC'd symbol */
 	if (strncmp(symname, CRC_PFX, strlen(CRC_PFX)) == 0) {
 		crc = (unsigned int) sym->st_value;
+		if (!crc)
+			fprintf(stderr, "symbol %s has crc=0 sym->st_shndx=%d\n",
+				symname, sym->st_shndx);
 		sym_update_crc(symname + strlen(CRC_PFX), mod, crc,
 			       export);
 	}
---------- scripts/mod/modpost.c ----------

I got below messages upon build.

I continued bisection in this way and found that commit 5c019369 "syscalls.h:
use gcc alias instead of assembler aliases for syscalls" started showing
below messages upon build.

Reverting commit 5c019369 from linux-next-20130822 solved this problem.

Andi, would you check?
