[PATCH 4/4] export: avoid code duplication in include/linux/export.h
From: Matthias Maennich
Date: Thu Oct 10 2019 - 11:16:17 EST
Now that the namespace value is not part of the __ksymtab entry name
anymore, we can simplify the implementation of EXPORT_SYMBOL*. By
allowing the empty string "" to represent 'no namespace', we can unify
the implementation and drop a lot redundant code. That increases
readability and maintainability.
As Masahiro pointed out earlier,
"The drawback of this change is, it grows the code size. When the symbol
has no namespace, sym->namespace was previously NULL, but it is now am
empty string "". So, it increases 1 byte for every no namespace
EXPORT_SYMBOL. A typical kernel configuration has 10K exported symbols,
so it increases 10KB in rough estimation."
