+++ Matthias Maennich [21/08/19 12:49 +0100]:
Add support for symbols that are exported into namespaces. For that,
extract any namespace suffix from the symbol name. In addition, emit a
warning whenever a module refers to an exported symbol without
explicitly importing the namespace that it is defined in. This patch
consistently adds the namespace suffix to symbol names exported into
Module.symvers.
Example warning emitted by modpost in case of the above violation:
WARNING: module ums-usbat uses symbol usb_stor_resume from namespace
USB_STORAGE, but does not import it.

I think it might be cleaner to just have namespace be a separate
field in Module.symvers, rather than appending a dot and the
namespace at the end of a symbol name. Maybe something like
<crc> <symbol_name> <namespace> <module>
For symbols without a namespace, we could just have "", with all
fields delimited by tabs. This is just a stylistic suggestion, what do
you think?
Regardless of the chosen format, I think we need to document how
namespaces are represented in Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst, where
it describes the Module.symvers format.
Thanks!
