Subject: genksyms: Handle string literals with spaces in reference files
From: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxxx>
commit a78f70e8d65e88b9f631d073f68cb26dcd746298 upstream.
The reference files use spaces to separate tokens, however, we must
preserve spaces inside string literals. Currently the only case in the
tree is struct edac_raw_error_desc in <linux/edac.h>:
$ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes
$ mv drivers/edac/amd64_edac.{symtypes,symref}
$ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes
drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:527: warning: amd64_get_dram_hole_info: modversion changed because of changes in struct edac_raw_error_desc
