Linus Torvalds e070355664 Modules updates for v5.4
Summary of modules changes for the 5.4 merge window:
 
 - Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
 
   This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
   categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
   authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.
 
   Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel
   developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem
   maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols
   should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or
   inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily
   limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the
   kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot
   the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are
   introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is
   thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.
 
 - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there.

Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
 "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
  namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
  growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
  and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
  "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.

  Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
  explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
  easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
  of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
  namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
  the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

  Summary:

   - Introduce exported symbol namespaces.

     This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
     categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
     authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.

     Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing
     kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow
     subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some
     exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think:
     inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as
     well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols
     to other parts of the kernel.

     With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the
     misuse of exported symbols during patch review.

     Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in
     Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.

   - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there"
