From 69923208431e097ce3830647aee98e5bd3e889c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Maennich Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 10:31:42 +0100 Subject: symbol namespaces: revert to previous __ksymtab name scheme The introduction of Symbol Namespaces changed the naming schema of the __ksymtab entries from __kysmtab__symbol to __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.symbol. That caused some breakages in tools that depend on the name layout in either the binaries(vmlinux,*.ko) or in System.map. E.g. kmod's depmod would not be able to read System.map without a patch to support symbol namespaces. A warning reported by depmod for namespaced symbols would look like depmod: WARNING: [...]/uas.ko needs unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks In order to address this issue, revert to the original naming scheme and rather read the __kstrtabns_ entries and their corresponding values from __ksymtab_strings to update the namespace values for symbols. After having read all symbols and handled them in handle_modversions(), the symbols are created. In a second pass, read the __kstrtabns_ entries and update the namespaces accordingly. Fixes: 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.")
