Currently when CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n, modpost only warns
when a module is missing namespace imports. Under this configuration, such a module
cannot be loaded into the kernel anyway, as the module loader would reject it.
We might as well return a build error when a module is missing namespace imports
under CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n, so that the build
warning does not go ignored/unnoticed.

I generally agree with the idea of the patch. Thanks for working on
this! I also can't remember any reason why I did not write it like this
initially. Probably just because I introduced this configuration option
quite late in the development process of the initial patches.

A more suitable name is maybe missing_ns_import_is_error or follow the
naming of the config option: allow_missing_ns_imports (with default = 1).

I would like to avoid the code duplication here. The string literal is
identical for both cases.

Also, if we fail here, we might as well help the user to fix it by
suggesting to run `make nsdeps` (once per failed modpost run). Speaking
of which, `make nsdeps` is currently broken by this patch as it relies
on a successful (yet warning-full) build of the modules. So, in case of
`make nsdeps`, we probably have to omit the -N flag again when invoking
modpost.
Cheers,
Matthias

Hm, but one is a call to merror() and the other to warn(). The
previous if (warn_unresolved) block does the same thing. I am not sure
how to simplify it to one call without introducing macro magic or
overcomplicating things. Or were you thinking of something else?

Good catch! Since KBUILD_NSDEPS is set when running `make nsdeps`,
maybe we can do something like:

I would not say this is a horrible duplication,
but if you avoid repeating the same string,
maybe you could do like this:
PRINTF log(enum loglevel loglevel, const char *fmt, ...)
BTW, you accidentally changed the indentation of
add_namespace(&mod->missing_namespaces, exp->namespace);

If you follow Matthias' suggestion
"follow the naming of the config option: allow_missing_ns_imports
(with default = 1)."
the option is inverted, and you can write it more simply:
$(if $(CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS)$(KBUILD_NSDEPS),-n)
