Subject: [PATCH 0/2] modsign: fix missing symbol prefix

These patches fix linker errors on blackfin and metag when module
signing is enabled. This is due to the use of symbol prefixes on these
architectures, and the asm in modsign_pubkey.c not prefixing one.

The first patch defines SYMBOL_PREFIX in linux/kernel based on
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX to avoid duplicated ifdef'ery all over the place.
The second patch uses SYMBOL_PREFIX to fix modsign_pubkey.c.

I'm not entirely sure linux/kernel.h is the best place for it, but there
are two other similar defines in there to avoid #ifdefs.

James Hogan (2):
  linux/kernel.h: define SYMBOL_PREFIX
  modsign: add symbol prefix to certificate list
