Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 0/4] Remove vermagic header from global include folder

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...lanox.com>

Changelog:
v1:
 * Added tags
 * Updated patch #4 with test results
 * Changed scripts/mod/modpost.c to create inclusion of vermagic.h
   from kernel folder and not from general include/linux. This is
   needed to generate *.mod.c files, while building modules.
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200414155732.1236944-1-leon@kernel.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

This is followup to the failure reported by Borislav [1] and suggested
fix later on [2].

The series removes all includes of linux/vermagic.h, updates hns and
nfp to use same kernel versioning scheme (exactly like we did for
other drivers in previous cycle) and removes vermagic.h from global
include folder.

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200413080452.GA3772@zn.tnic

------------------------------------------------------------
1. Honestly, I have no idea if it can go to net-rc, clearly not all my
patches are fixes, so I'm sending them to the net-next.
2. Still didn't get response from kbuild, but it passed my own
compilation tests.

Thanks

Leon Romanovsky (4):
  drivers: Remove inclusion of vermagic header
  net/hns: Remove custom driver version in favour of global one
  net/nfp: Update driver to use global kernel version
  kernel/module: Hide vermagic header file from general use
