Commit 31cb50b5590f ("kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script instead of modpost") moved the static EXPORT_SYMBOL* check from the mostpost to a shell script because I thought it must be checked per compilation unit to avoid false negatives. I came up with an idea to do this in modpost, against combined ELF files. The relocation entries in ELF will find the correct exported symbol even if there exist symbols with the same name in different compilation units. Again, the same sample code. Makefile: obj-y += foo1.o foo2.o foo1.c: #include <linux/export.h> static void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); foo2.c: void foo(void) {} Then, modpost can catch it correctly.
