Subject: modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea6bff368548d79529421a9dc0710fc5330eb504;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case

> James Bottomley (1):
>       module: workaround duplicate section names

-tip testing found that this patch breaks the build on x86 if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled:

 kernel/module.c: In function ‘load_module’:
 kernel/module.c:2367: error: ‘struct module’ has no member named ‘sect_attrs’
 distcc[8269] ERROR: compile kernel/module.c on ph/32 failed
 make[1]: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 1
 make: *** [kernel] Error 2
 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Commit 1b364bf misses the fact that section attributes are only
built and dealt with if kallsyms is enabled. The patch below fixes
this.

( note, technically speaking this should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS as
  well but this patch is correct too and keeps the #ifdef less
  intrusive - in the KALLSYMS && !SYSFS case the code is a NOP. )
