There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits
removed unused ones.
- f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE")
- 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*")
There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make
any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know
how it was exported".
If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name
does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an
exported symbol.
It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined:
int __ksymtab_foo;
Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable
name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either).
Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not
the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case.
With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes
boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).
I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true.
Only GPL-compatible modules can use it.
I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is
unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.
