Richard Hacker 2d04b5ae1b kbuild: support loading extra symbols in modpost
This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol
file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be
supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed.

When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main
kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols:
# make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module
...
Building modules, stage 2.
....
WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined!
...etc

This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When
it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning.

The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol
file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's
symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required.

This patch works together with the second patch. It introduces a new make
variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, which is used when calling modpost.
