Previously, the -i option had two functions; load a symbol dump file,
and set the external_module flag.
I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them.
Going forward, the -i is used to load a symbol dump file, and the -e
to set the external_module flag.
With this, we will be able to use -i for loading in-kernel symbols.

The -i option is used to include Modules.symver as well as files from
$(KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS).
Make the struct and variable names more generic.

Now that there is no difference between -i and -e, they can be unified.
Make modpost accept the -i option multiple times, then remove -e.
I will reuse -e for a different purpose.

The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols
loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building
external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols
to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump
file or ELF object.
This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols
loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but
not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe
this makes more sense.
sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too.

Currently, modpost reads extra symbol dump files in the reverse order.
If '-e foo -e bar' is given, modpost reads bar, foo, in this order.
This is probably not a big deal, but there is no good reason to reverse
the order. Read files in the given order.

The built-in only code is not required to have MODULE_IMPORT_NS() to
use symbols. So, the namespace is not checked for vmlinux(.o).
Do not pass the meaningless -N option to the first pass of modpost.

The '-T -' option reads the file list from stdin.
It is clearer to put it close to the piped command.

$(filter -i,$(MAKEFLAGS)) works only in limited use-cases.
The representation of $(MAKEFLAGS) depends on various factors:
- GNU Make version (version 3.8x or version 4.x)
- The presence of other flags like -j
In my experiments, $(MAKEFLAGS) is expanded as follows:
* GNU Make 3.8x:
* without -j option:
--no-print-directory -Rri
* with -j option:
--no-print-directory -Rr --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j -i
* GNU Make 4.x:
* without -j option:
irR --no-print-directory
* with -j option:
irR -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory
For GNU Make 4.x, the flags are grouped as 'irR', which does not work.
For the single thread build with GNU Make 3.8x, the flags are grouped
as '-Rri', which does not work either.
To make it work for all cases, do likewise as commit 6f0fa58e45
("kbuild: simplify silent build (-s) detection").
BTW, since commit ff9b45c55b ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order
instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), you also need to pass -k option to
build final *.ko files. 'make -i -k' ignores compile errors in modules,
and build as many remaining *.ko as possible.
Please note this feature is kind of dangerous if other modules depend
on the broken module because the generated modules will lack the correct
module dependency or CRC. Honestly, I am not a big fan of it, but I am
keeping this feature.

Make modules.order depend on $(obj-m), and use if_changed to build it.
This will avoid unneeded update of modules.order, which will be useful
to optimize the modpost stage.
Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked. By checking the
timestamp of modules.order, we can avoid the unneeded modpost.

Use sym_get_data_by_offset() helper to get access to the .shstrtab
section data. No functional change is intended because
elf->sechdrs[elf->secindex_strings].sh_addr is 0 for both ET_REL
and ET_EXEC object types.

This may not be a practical problem, but the second pass of ARCH=i386
modpost causes segmentation fault if the -s option is not passed.
MODPOST 12 modules
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:94: __modpost] Error 139
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1339: modules] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
The segmentation fault occurs when section_rel() is called for vmlinux,
which is untested in regular builds. The cause of the problem is
reloc_location() returning a wrong pointer for ET_EXEC object type.
In this case, you need to subtract sechdr->sh_addr, otherwise it would
get access beyond the mmap'ed memory.
Add sym_get_data_by_offset() helper to avoid code duplication.

$(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit
3f3fd3c055 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost")
to build multiple external module directories.
It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external
module depends on another external module.
Commit 0d96fb20b7 ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol
info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support.
include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile)
... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words.
This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the
bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains
multiple words.
As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends
on another one, there are two solutions:
- add a common top-level Kbuild file
- use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS

built-in.a contains the built-in object paths from the current and sub
directories.
module.order collects the module paths from the current and sub
directories.
Make their build rules look more symmetrical.

I think all the warnings have been fixed by now. Make it a fatal error.
Check it before modpost because we need to stop building *.ko files.
Also, pass modules.order via a script parameter.

This is the remnant of commit c17d6179ad ("gcc-plugins: remove unused
GCC_PLUGIN_SUBDIR").
The conditional $(if $(findstring /,$(p)),...) is always false because
none of plugins contains '/' in the file name.
Clean up the code.
