Hi Nicholas,
Current git master (v4.9-rc5-364-g77079b1) with the latest kbuild fixes
is still failing to load modules when built with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y on
x86_64 using GCC 6.2.1.
It can still be reproduced with make defconfig, then enabling
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y. The build output contains:
WARNING: "memcpy" [net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko] has no CRC!
WARNING: "memmove" [net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko] has no CRC!
WARNING: "_copy_to_user" [fs/efivarfs/efivarfs.ko] has no CRC!
WARNING: "memcpy" [fs/efivarfs/efivarfs.ko] has no CRC!
WARNING: "_copy_from_user" [fs/efivarfs/efivarfs.ko] has no CRC!
