This is a weird case because these symbols are used for post compilation processing by modpost. If I drop the extern keyword, the build fails with a bunch of errors of the form: /mnt/host/source/src/third_party/kernel/upstream/drivers/hid/hid-generic.c:79:1: error: definition '__mod_hid__hid_table__kmod_hid_generic_device_table' cannot also be an alias MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(hid, hid_table); ^ /mnt/host/source/src/third_party/kernel/upstream/include/linux/module.h:255:26: note: expanded from macro 'MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE' __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name)))) > > > > + CONCATENATE(__mod_##type##__##name##__, \ > > + __KBUILD_MODNAME), \ > > + _device_table) \ > > + __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name)))) > > #endif > > > > /* Version of form [<epoch>:]<version>[-<extra-version>].
