[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: add EXPORT_INDIRECT_CALLABLE wrapper

From: Brian Vazquez <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-04 18:33:23

When a static function is annotated with INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE and
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, the static keyword is removed. Sometimes the
function needs to be exported but EXPORT_SYMBOL can't be used because if
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is not set, we will attempt to export a static symbol.

This patch introduces a new indirect call wrapper:
EXPORT_INDIRECT_CALLABLE. This basically does EXPORT_SYMBOL when
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, but does nothing when it's not.

[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: fix building errors on powerpc when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is not set

From: Brian Vazquez <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-04 18:29:55

This commit fixes the errores reported when building for powerpc:

 ERROR: modpost: "ip6_dst_check" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
 ERROR: modpost: "ipv4_dst_check" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
 ERROR: modpost: "ipv4_mtu" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
 ERROR: modpost: "ip6_mtu" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL

Fixes: f67fbeaebdc0 ("net: use indirect call helpers for dst_mtu")
Fixes: bbd807dfbf20 ("net: indirect call helpers for ipv4/ipv6 dst_check functions")

Hello:

This series was applied to netdev/net-next.git (refs/heads/master):
