Masahiro Yamada 9c036cfbb7 modpost: check forbidden MODULE_IMPORT_NS("module:") at compile time
Explicitly adding MODULE_IMPORT_NS("module:...") is not allowed.

Currently, this is only checked at run time. That is, when such a
module is loaded, an error message like the following is shown:

  foo: module tries to import module namespace: module:bar

Obviously, checking this at compile time improves usability.

In such a case, modpost will report the following error at compile time:

  ERROR: modpost: foo: explicitly importing namespace "module:bar" is not allowed.

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
