Subject: [PATCH 0/7] module: various bug-fixes and clean-ups for module namespace


I was hit by some problems caused by the module namespace feature
that was merged recently. At least, the breakage of
external module builds is a fatal one. I just took a look at the code
closer, and I noticed some more issues and improvements.

I hope these patches are mostly OK.
The 4th patch might have room for argument since it is a trade-off
of "cleaner implermentation" vs "code size".



Masahiro Yamada (7):
  modpost: fix broken sym->namespace for external module builds
  module: swap the order of symbol.namespace
  module: rename __kstrtab_ns_* to __kstrtabns_* to avoid symbol
    conflict
  module: avoid code duplication in include/linux/export.h
  kbuild: fix build error of 'make nsdeps' in clean tree
  nsdeps: fix hashbang of scripts/nsdeps
  nsdeps: make generated patches independent of locale
