Now that there is no overwrap between symbols from ELF files and
ones from Module.symvers.

So, the 'exported twice' warning should be reported irrespective
of where the symbol in question came from. Only the exceptional case
is when __crc_<sym> symbol appears before __ksymtab_<sym>. This
typically occurs for EXPORT_SYMBOL in .S files.

Hi, Masahiro,

After apply this patch, I get the following modpost warnings when doing:

$ make M=tools/tesing/nvdimm
...
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 12 modules
WARNING: tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm: 'nvdimm_bus_lock' exported twice. Previous export was in drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko

There are a lot of these warnings.  :)  If I revert this patch, no
complaints.

Cheers,
Jeff

These warnings are correct since
drivers/nvdimm/Makefile and
tools/testing/nvdimm/Kbuild
compile the same files.

Yeah, but that's by design.  Is there a way to silence these warnings?

"rm -f Module.symvers; make M=tools/testing/nvdimm" ?

I'd like the _design_ fixed though.

This design is deliberate. The goal is to re-build the typical nvdimm
modules, but link them against mocked version of core kernel symbols.
This enables the nvdimm unit tests which have been there for years and
pre-date Kunit. That said, deleting Module.symvers seems a simple
enough workaround.

This workaround triggers:

  WARNING: Symbol version dump ./Module.symvers
           is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

Which is a regression from the previous working state.
