From e84f9fbbece1585f45a03ccc11eeabe121cadc1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2019 02:42:22 +0900 Subject: modpost: refactor namespace_from_kstrtabns() to not hard-code section name Currently, namespace_from_kstrtabns() relies on the fact that namespace strings are recorded in the __ksymtab_strings section. Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does not need to hard-code the section name. Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is a more portable way to get the namespace string. Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete the info->ksymtab_strings . While I was here, I added more 'const' qualifiers to pointers.
