From: Siddharth Nayyar Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 21:25:05 +0000 (+0000) Subject: module: use kflagstab instead of *_gpl sections X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55fcb926b6d8b5cfb40873e4840a69961db1bb69;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git module: use kflagstab instead of *_gpl sections Read kflagstab section for vmlinux and modules to determine whether kernel symbols are GPL only. This patch eliminates the need for fragmenting the ksymtab for infering the value of GPL-only symbol flag, henceforth stop populating *_gpl versions of the ksymtab and kcrctab in modpost.
