[PATCH v7 02/10] module: allow symbol exports to be disabled

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-02 20:06:30
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-mips, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: extensible firmware interface (efi), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Ard Biesheuvel, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

To allow existing C code to be incorporated into the decompressor or
the UEFI stub, introduce a CPP macro that turns all EXPORT_SYMBOL_xxx
declarations into nops, and #define it in places where such exports
are undesirable. Note that this gets rid of a rather dodgy redefine
of linux/export.h's header guard.
