From 040fcc819a2e7783a570f4bdcdd1f2a7f5f06837 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 22:15:55 +0100 Subject: kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain symbol information from a second external module when a external module is build. The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but that may be impractical in certain cases. With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available for another external module.
