Hi list,
Should I provide more detailed information on the problem that the patch
solves?
In short, I just run
depmod -ae -F System.map -P _
on modules and kernel cross-compiled for Blackfin
and see lots of undefined symbols, which are in fact defined by the
kernel.
For example,
WARNING: module.ko needs unknown symbol _memcpy
WARNING: module.ko needs unknown symbol _printk
WARNING: module.ko needs unknown symbol ___kmalloc
This is because all symbols are prefixed with _ for Blackfin and kmod's
depmod handles -P switch incorrectly.
sorry for the delay. I didn't apply it at the first look because I
really don't like that bool parameter. However as you pointed out,
this patch solves a real problem. It's applied now. Thanks.

Lucas, thank you for applying the patch!
Of course, no problem with the delay -- it's my fault not providing enough
information about the problem in the first place.
I agree, that the patch is a little bit clumsy and straightforward but it
solves the problem.
