[ Upstream commit707f853d7f] Helper macro to more easily limit the export of a symbol to a given list of modules. Eg: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES(preempt_notifier_inc, "kvm"); will limit the use of said function to kvm.ko, any other module trying to use this symbol will refure to load (and get modpost build failures).

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 Restructured Text 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.
