Move ARRAY_SIZE() from file2alias.c to modpost.h to reuse it in
section_mismatch().

Also, move the variable 'check' inside the for-loop.

modpost dumps the exported symbols into Module.symvers, but currently
in random order because it iterates in the hash table.

Add a linked list of exported symbols in struct module, so we can
iterate on symbols per module.

This commit makes Module.symvers much more readable; the outer loop in
write_dump() iterates over the modules in the order of modules.order,
and the inner loop dumps symbols in each module.

Use the doubly linked list to traverse the list in the added order.
This makes the code more consistent.

Currently, modpost manages unresolved in a singly linked list; it adds
a new node to the head, and traverses the list from new to old.

Use a doubly linked list to keep the order in the symbol table in the
ELF file.

Currently, modpost manages modules in a singly linked list; it adds
a new node to the head, and traverses the list from new to old.

It works, but the error messages are shown in the reverse order.

If you have a Makefile like this:

  obj-m += foo.o bar.o

then, modpost shows error messages in bar.o, foo.o, in this order.

Use a doubly linked list to keep the order in modules.order; use
list_add_tail() for the node addition and list_for_each_entry() for
the list traverse.

Now that the kernel's list macros have been imported to modpost, I will
use them actively going forward.

Currently, mod->gpl_compatible is tristate; it is set to -1 by default,
then to 1 or 0 when MODULE_LICENSE() is found.

Maybe, -1 was chosen to represent the 'unknown' license, but it is not
useful.

The current code:

    if (!mod->gpl_compatible)
            check_for_gpl_usage(exp->export, basename, exp->name);

... only cares whether gpl_compatible is zero or not.

Change it to a bool type with the initial value 'true', which has no
functional change.

The default value should be 'true' instead of 'false'.

Since commit 1d6cd3929360 ("modpost: turn missing MODULE_LICENSE() into
error"), unknown module license is an error.

The error message, "missing MODULE_LICENSE()" is enough to explain the
issue. It is not sensible to show another message, "GPL-incompatible
module ... uses GPL-only symbol".

Add comments to explain this.

While I was here, I renamed gpl_compatible to is_gpl_compatible for
clarification, and also slightly refactored the code.

There is no good reason to define struct namespace_list in modpost.h

struct module has pointers to struct namespace_list, but that does
not require the definition of struct namespace_list.

Move it to modpost.c.

With commit 1743694eb235 ("modpost: stop symbol preloading for
modversion CRC") applied, now export_from_sec() is useless.

handle_symbol() is called for every symbol in the ELF.

When 'symname' does not start with "__ksymtab", export_from_sec() is
called, and the returned value is stored in 'export'.

It is used in the last part of handle_symbol():

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")) {
            name = symname + strlen("__ksymtab_");
            sym_add_exported(name, mod, export);
    }

'export' is used only when 'symname' starts with "__ksymtab_".

So, the value returned by export_from_sec() is never used.

Remove useless export_from_sec(). This makes further cleanups possible.

I put the temporary code:

    export = export_unknown;

Otherwise, I would get the compiler warning:

    warning: 'export' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This is apparently false positive because

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")

... is a stronger condition than:

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab")

Anyway, this part will be cleaned up by the next commit.
