The "d_iname" member was replaced with "d_shortname.string" in the commit
referenced in the Fixes tag.  This prevented the GDB script "lx-mount"
command to properly function:

<title>gendwarfksyms: Fix structure type overrides</title>

<id>2f6b47b295518c3ba16fabb1dddbe6a319899acb</id>
<content type='text'>
As we always iterate through the entire die_map when expanding
type strings, recursively processing referenced types in
type_expand_child() is not actually necessary. Furthermore,
the type_string kABI rule added in commit c9083467f7b9
("gendwarfksyms: Add a kABI rule to override type strings") can
fail to override type strings for structures due to a missing
kabi_get_type_string() check in this function.

Fix the issue by dropping the unnecessary recursion and moving
the override check to type_expand(). Note that symbol versions
are otherwise unchanged with this patch.

Enumeration constants read from a symbol reference file can incorrectly
affect new enumeration constants parsed from an actual input file.

Example:

 $ cat test.c
 enum { E_A, E_B, E_MAX };
 struct bar { int mem[E_MAX]; };
 int foo(struct bar *a) {}
 __GENKSYMS_EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

 $ cat test.c | ./scripts/genksyms/genksyms -T test.0.symtypes
 #SYMVER foo 0x070d854d

 $ cat test.0.symtypes
 E#E_MAX 2
 s#bar struct bar { int mem [ E#E_MAX ] ; }
 foo int foo ( s#bar * )

 $ cat test.c | ./scripts/genksyms/genksyms -T test.1.symtypes -r test.0.symtypes
 &lt;stdin&gt;:4: warning: foo: modversion changed because of changes in enum constant E_MAX
 #SYMVER foo 0x9c9dfd81

 $ cat test.1.symtypes
 E#E_MAX ( 2 ) + 3
 s#bar struct bar { int mem [ E#E_MAX ] ; }
 foo int foo ( s#bar * )

The __add_symbol() function includes logic to handle the incrementation of
enumeration values, but this code is also invoked when reading a reference
file. As a result, the variables last_enum_expr and enum_counter might be
incorrectly set after reading the reference file, which later affects
parsing of the actual input.

Fix the problem by splitting the logic for the incrementation of
enumeration values into a separate function process_enum() and call it from
__add_symbol() only when processing non-reference data.

Another issue with &lt;linux/export.h&gt; is that it is sometimes included
even when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is not used at all.

Some headers (e.g. include/linux/linkage.h&gt;) cannot be fixed for now
for the reason described in the previous commit.

This commit adds a warning for *.c files that include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;
but do not use EXPORT_SYMBOL() when the kernel is built with W=1.

The problem was described in commit 5b20755b7780 ("init: move THIS_MODULE
from &lt;linux/export.h&gt; to &lt;linux/init.h&gt;").

To summarize it again here: &lt;linux/export.h&gt; is included by most C files,
even though only some of them actually export symbols. This is because
some headers, such as include/linux/{module.h,linkage}, needlessly
include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;.

I have added a more detailed explanation in the comments of
scripts/misc-check.

This problem will be fixed in two steps:

 1. Add #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt; directly to C files that use
    EXPORT_SYMBOL()
 2. Remove #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt; from header files that do not use
    EXPORT_SYMBOL()

This commit addresses step 1; scripts/misc-check will warn about *.[ch]
files that use EXPORT_SYMBOL() but do not include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;.
This check is only triggered when the kernel is built with W=1.

We need to fix 4000+ files. I hope others will help with this effort.

This script is executed only when ${KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN} contains 1.
Move this check to the top-level Makefile to allow more checks to be
easily added to this script.
