[RFC PATCH 2/3] Add generation of Module.ksymb file in streamline_config.pl

From: Cristina Moraru
Date: Sun Jul 31 2016 - 11:37:38 EST


Add generation of ./scripts/mod/Module.ksymb file containing
associations of driver file names and corresponding CONFIG_*
symbol.

This file will be used by modpost to peg kconfig CONFIG_*
symbol to its corresponding module. This information will
be further exposed in userspace for extracting build options
for the required modules.

This approach faces the following limitations:
* in some cases there are more than one CONFIG_* option
for certain objects. This happens for the objects that are
part of more CONFIGs. Thus, all configs are returned for
this object names. For example, the mapping for clk_div6 is
CONFIG_ARCH_R8A73A4, CONFIG_ARCH_R8A7793 and many others.
* in some cases the driver file name does not match the
registered name for the module. For example:

Driver filename Module name
-----------------------------------
lineage-pem[.o] lineage_pem
phy-ab8500-usb[.o] abx5x0-usb
ehci-mxc[.o] mxc-ehci
etc.

There is no naming rule / standard between the driver
name and the registered module name.

This patch is part of a research project within
Google Summer of Code of porting 'make localmodconfig'
for backported drivers.
