From f02e8a6596b7dc9b2171f7ff5654039ef0950cdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alessio Igor Bogani Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:59:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] module: Sort exported symbols This patch places every exported symbol in its own section (i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section (i.e. "__ksymtab"). The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols. To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary section names. This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.
