In my test builds of 4.9-rc5 plus
4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm")
cc6acc11cad1 ("kbuild: be more careful about matching preprocessed asm ___EXPORT_SYMBOL")
(which are in -rc6) I got many warnings à la:
WARNING: "memset" [drivers/media/usb/airspy/airspy.ko] has no CRC!
and booting the resulting kernel failed with messages of the type:
[ 3.024126] usbcore: no symbol version for __memzero
[ 3.029107] usbcore: Unknown symbol __memzero (err -22)
so hardly any module could be loaded. modprobe -f works however, but
that's not what my initramfs does.
With this patch and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9392291/ ("ARM:
move mmiocpy/mmioset exports to io.c") I could compile a kernel without
CRC warnings and it boots fine. So it would be great to get these two
patches into 4.9.
Thanks
Uwe
