Module object files can contain an undefined reference to __this_module,
which isn't resolved until we link the final .ko. The kernel doesn't
export this symbol, so ignore it in gen_autoksyms.sh.

Since commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols"),
EXPORT_SYMBOL* is placed in the individual section ___ksymtab(_gpl)+&lt;sym&gt;
(3 leading underscores instead of 2).

Since then, modpost cannot detect the bad combination of EXPORT_SYMBOL
and __init/__exit.

Fix the .fromsec field.

MAGIC_START("IKCFG_ST") and MAGIC_END("IKCFG_ED") are moved out
from the kernel_config_data variable.

Thus, we parse kernel_config_data directly instead of considering
offset of MAGIC_START and MAGIC_END.

Bash 4.4, released in 2016, supports 'wait $!' to check the exit status
of a process substitution, but it seems too new.

Some people using older bash versions (on CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, etc.)
reported an error like this:

  ./scripts/check-local-export: line 54: wait: pid 17328 is not a child of this shell

I used the process substitution to avoid a pipeline, which executes each
command in a subshell. If the while-loop is executed in the subshell
context, variable changes within are lost after the subshell terminates.

Fortunately, Bash 4.2, released in 2011, supports the 'lastpipe' option,
which makes the last element of a pipeline run in the current shell process.

Switch to the pipeline with 'lastpipe' solution, and also set 'pipefail'
to catch errors from ${NM}.

Add the bash requirement to Documentation/process/changes.rst.

the kernel build host tools still use it.  Disable the warning about

<title>kbuild: avoid regex RS for POSIX awk</title>

<id>7bf179de5b2dfae54a6839eaf7caba44a888ee2e</id>
<content type='text'>
In 22f26f21774f8 awk was added to deduplicate *.mod files.  The awk
invocation passes -v RS='( |\n)' to match a space or newline character
as the record separator.  Unfortunately, POSIX states[1]

&gt; If RS contains more than one character, the results are unspecified.

Some implementations (such as the One True Awk[2] used by the BSDs) do
not treat RS as a regular expression.  When awk does not support regex
RS, build failures such as the following are produced (first error using
allmodconfig):

To avoid this, use printf(1) to produce a newline between each object
path, instead of the space produced by echo(1), so that the default RS
can be used by awk.

If a function lives in a section other than .text, but .text also exists
in the object, faddr2line may wrongly assume .text.  This can result in
comically wrong output.  For example:

  $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x1c
  enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x30:
  find_next_bit at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/./include/linux/find.h:40
  (inlined by) perf_clear_dirty_counters at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:2504

Fix it by passing the section name to addr2line, unless the object file
is vmlinux, in which case the symbol table uses absolute addresses.
