Subject: checkpatch: fix false EXPORT_SYMBOL warning
From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning,
static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key;
struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map =
STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this,
WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its
function/variable
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a
mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.
