With commit
1743694eb235 ("modpost: stop symbol preloading for
modversion CRC") applied, now export_from_sec() is useless.
handle_symbol() is called for every symbol in the ELF.
When 'symname' does not start with "__ksymtab", export_from_sec() is
called, and the returned value is stored in 'export'.
It is used in the last part of handle_symbol():
if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")) {
name = symname + strlen("__ksymtab_");
sym_add_exported(name, mod, export);
}
'export' is used only when 'symname' starts with "__ksymtab_".
So, the value returned by export_from_sec() is never used.
Remove useless export_from_sec(). This makes further cleanups possible.
I put the temporary code:
export = export_unknown;
Otherwise, I would get the compiler warning:
warning: 'export' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
This is apparently false positive because
if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")
... is a stronger condition than:
if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab")
Anyway, this part will be cleaned up by the next commit.
