Hi Linus,
The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly growing
with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7) and we
currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are "clustered" or
making sense of this huge export surface. Namespacing exported symbols
allows kernel developers to more explicitly partition and categorize
exported symbols, as well as more easily limiting the availability of
namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. For starters, we have
introduced the USB_STORAGE namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have
briefly summarized the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.
Disclaimer: linux-next releases were originally planned to be paused from
Sept 5 to Sept 30, then from Sept 15, Mark Brown picked up the work and
resumed doing -next releases. Since the patchset landed in modules-next
during the week of -rc8, it has unfortunately not gotten linux-next time. I
would understand if you'd prefer to defer to the next release.
Also note that there is a conflict with the kbuild tree. Many thanks to
Matthias Maennich for quickly providing the conflict resolution (diff
below). Only include/linux/export.h and scripts/Makefile.modpost had hard
conflicts. In the inline diff below, I've provided the result of the
conflict resolution from merging modules-next into your master branch.
Please let me know if you run into any trouble.
Thanks,
Jessica

module: Remove leftover '#undef' from export header (2019-09-12 15:29:46 +0200)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Modules updates for v5.4
Summary of modules changes for the 5.4 merge window:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.
Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel
developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem
maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols
should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or
inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily
limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the
kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot
the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are
introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is
thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.
- Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there.
----------------------------------------------------------------

module: remove redundant 'depends on MODULES'
module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES
module: remove unneeded casts in cmp_name()

Will Deacon (2):
module: Fix link failure due to invalid relocation on namespace offset
module: Remove leftover '#undef' from export header
