The patch titled Subject: dynamic_debug: remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is dynamic_debug-remove-unused-export_symbols.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/dynamic_debug-remove-unused-export_symbols.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/dynamic_debug-remove-unused-export_symbols.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: dynamic_debug: remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs The only caller of ddebug_{add,remove}_module outside dynamic_debug.c is kernel/module.c, which is obviously not itself modular (though it would be an interesting exercise to make that happen...). I also fail to see how these interfaces can be used by modules, in-tree or not.
