[v3,00/32] Mini-OS: hide mini-os internal symbols

Message

Jürgen Groß Nov. 27, 2023, 10:24 a.m. UTC

In order to avoid conflicts due to symbols with the same name when
linking Mini-OS with an application, hide all Mini9-OS internal symbols
from the application by linking the Mini-OS kernel individually and
then removing all symbols which should be used internally only.

Changes in V2:
- added more symbols in patch 2

Changes in V3:
- Instead of a global file with symbol names use EXPORT_SYMBOL()
  instances for each symbol. Former patch 2 is replaced with new
  patches 2-32.

Juergen Gross (32):
  Mini-OS: link kernel separately
  Mini-OS: explicitly mark symbols to be visible for apps
  Mini-OS: add EXPORT_SYMBOL() instances to kernel.c
  Mini-OS: add EXPORT_SYMBOL() instances to hypervisor.c
  Mini-OS: add EXPORT_SYMBOL() instances to sched.c

I didn't receive the mails for those, but I went to the list archive,
and here it is for them:
