Subject: [PATCH] modules: move module symbols from init/Kconfig
This moves all the module symbols from init/Kconfig to its
own dedicated file now that we have all of the module code in
its own directory.
This does not introduce any functional changes.

- modules
- help
- Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
- be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
- permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
- tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
- many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
- answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
- useful for infrequently used options which are not required
- for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
- modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
-
- If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
- modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
- where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
- this).

- If unsure, say Y.

-
-config MODULE_UNLOAD
- bool "Module unloading"
- help
- Without this option you will not be able to unload any
- modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
- anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster

-
-config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
- bool "Forced module unloading"
- depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
- help
- This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
- kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
- without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
- rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

-config MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING

-
-config MODVERSIONS
- bool "Module versioning support"

- Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
- field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
- sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
- see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
- others sometimes change the module source without updating

- You should enable this option if you wish to use either
- CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM or lockdown functionality imposed via
- another LSM - otherwise unsigned modules will be loadable regardless
- of the lockdown policy.
-

-
- External modules will also be compressed in the same way during the

- compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

-
- Please note that the tool used to load modules needs to support the

-config MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS
- bool "Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports"
- help
- Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
- a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
- namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
- There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,

-
-config MODPROBE_PATH

- set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed
- at runtime via the sysctl file
- /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string
- removes the kernel's ability to request modules (but
- userspace can still load modules explicitly).

-config TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

- help
- The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
- other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
- on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
- many of those exported symbols might never be used.
-
- This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
- the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
- (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
- binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
-
- If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.
-
-config UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST
- string "Whitelist of symbols to keep in ksymtab"
- depends on TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
- help
- By default, all unused exported symbols will be un-exported from the
- build when TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.
-
- UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST allows to whitelist symbols that must be kept
- exported at all times, even in absence of in-tree users. The value to
- set here is the path to a text file containing the list of symbols,
- one per line. The path can be absolute, or relative to the kernel
- source tree.
