This is the third batch of cleanups in this development cycle.

Major changes in v3:

 - Generate symbol CRCs as C code, and remove CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS.

Major changes in v2:

 - V1 did not work with CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS.
   I fixed this for v2.

 - Reflect some review comments in v1

 - Refactor the code more

 - Avoid too long argument error


Masahiro Yamada (15):
  modpost: mitigate false-negatives for static EXPORT_SYMBOL checks
  modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type
  modpost: merge add_{intree_flag,retpoline,staging_flag} to add_header
  modpost: move *.mod.c generation to write_mod_c_files()
  kbuild: generate a list of objects in vmlinux
  kbuild: record symbol versions in *.cmd files
  modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files
  kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
    CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS
  kbuild: stop merging *.symversions
  genksyms: adjust the output format to modpost
  kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT
  modpost: simplify the ->is_static initialization
  modpost: use hlist for hash table implementation
  kbuild: make built-in.a rule robust against too long argument error
  kbuild: make *.mod rule robust against too long argument error

I merged this series into mainline and tested an Arch Linux
x86_64 configuration and Fedora aarch64 configuration with ThinLTO and
saw no new warnings or issues. Modules loaded just fine in QEMU for Arch
Linux and I did not notice any boot issues or warnings.

Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

Cheers,
Nathan

Only 03-06 were applied.

I will send v4 for the rest.
(I rewrote the static EXPORT checks).
