This patch series is intended for use alongside the Implement DWARF modversions series [1] to enable RUST and MODVERSIONS at the same time. Elsewhere, we've seen a desire for long symbol name support for LTO symbol names [2], and the previous series came up [3] as a possible solution rather than hashing, which some have objected [4] to. This series adds a MODVERSIONS format which uses a section per column. This avoids userspace tools breaking if we need to make a similar change to the format in the future - we would do so by adding a new section, rather than editing the struct definition. In the new format, the name section is formatted as a concatenated sequence of NUL-terminated strings, which allows for arbitrary length names. Emitting the extended format is guarded by CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS, but the kernel always knows how to validate both the original and extended formats. Selecting RUST and MODVERSIONS is now possible if GENDWARFKSYMS is selected, and will implicitly select EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS. This series depends upon the module verification refactor patches [5] that were split off of v5, and DWARF-based versions [1].
