Subject: module: Move 'struct module_signature' to UAPI
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f9909cf0a2dcc9e99377f3fcc965ccd93e518e34;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

module: Move 'struct module_signature' to UAPI

This structure definition is used outside the kernel proper.
For example in kmod and the kernel build environment.

To allow reuse, move it to a new UAPI header.

While it is not a true UAPI, it is a common practice to have
non-UAPI interface definitions in the kernel's UAPI headers.
