In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc, symbol, module). In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbced), which is over a decade ago now. Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next delimiter or end of line will follow. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: cb9b55d2 ("modpost: add support for symbol namespaces") Tested-by:

Add support for symbols that are exported into namespaces. For that, extract any namespace suffix from the symbol name. In addition, emit a warning whenever a module refers to an exported symbol without explicitly importing the namespace that it is defined in. This patch consistently adds the namespace suffix to symbol names exported into Module.symvers. Example warning emitted by modpost in case of the above violation: WARNING: module ums-usbat uses symbol usb_stor_resume from namespace USB_STORAGE, but does not import it. Co-developed-by:

The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix. The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl. This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody. Perl's executable is detected automatically. This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the default behavior. While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?). Signed-off-by:

Sort SECTION 2 modules by name. Within those module listings, sort the symbol providers by name, and remove the count, as it is misleading; its the kernel-wide count of uses of that symbol, not the count pertaining to the module being outlined. (this can be seen by grepping the output for a single symbol). The count is still used to sort the symbols. Signed-off-by:

Avoid spawning a shell pipeline doing cat, grep, sed, and do it all inside perl. The <*.c> globbing construct works at least as far back as 5.8.9 Note that this is not just an optimization; the sed command in the pipeline was unterminated, due to lack of escape on the end-of-line (\$) in the regex, resulting in this: $ perl ../linux-2.6/scripts/export_report.pl > /dev/null sed: -e expression #1, char 5: unterminated `s' command sh: .mod.c/: not found Comments on an earlier patch sought an all-perl implementation.

The following patch provides the ability to generate a report of (1) All the exported symbols and their in-kernel-module usage count (2) For each module, lists the modules and their exported symbols, on which it depends. the report can be generated by executing: perl scripts/export_report The tool warns if the modules are not build using MODVERSIONING.
