To avoid excessive usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(sym, MY_NAMESPACE), where MY_NAMESPACE will always be the namespace we are exporting to, allow exporting all definitions of EXPORT_SYMBOL() and friends by defining DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE. For example, to export all symbols defined in usb-common into the namespace USB_COMMON, add a line like this to drivers/usb/common/Makefile: ccflags-y += -DDEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE=USB_COMMON That is equivalent to changing all EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym) definitions to EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(sym, USB_COMMON). Subsequently all symbol namespaces functionality will apply. Another way of making use of this feature is to define the namespace within source or header files similar to how TRACE_SYSTEM defines are used: #undef DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE #define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE USB_COMMON Please note that, as opposed to TRACE_SYSTEM, DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE has to be defined before including include/linux/export.h. If DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE is defined, a symbol can still be exported to another namespace by using EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and friends with explicitly specifying the namespace.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
