Re: [PATCH] export.h: remove VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR()

From: Masahiro Yamada <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-20 16:12:51
Also in: keyrings, linux-kbuild, lkml

2018-08-19 7:34 GMT+09:00 Masahiro Yamada [off-list ref]:
With the special case handling for Blackfin and Metag was removed by
commit 94e58e0ac312 ("export.h: remove code for prefixing symbols with
underscore"), VMLINUX_SYMBOL() is no-no.

Replace the remaining usages, then remove the definition of
VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().

<asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h> no longer needs to include <linux/export.h>.

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <redacted>
---

Fixed the typo no-no -> no-op,
then applied  to linux-kbuild.
