With gendwarfksyms, we need each TU where the EXPORT_SYMBOL() macro is used to also contain DWARF type information for the symbols it exports. However, as a TU can also export external symbols and compilers may choose not to emit debugging information for symbols not defined in the current TU, the missing types will result in missing symbol versions. Stand-alone assembly code also doesn't contain type information for exported symbols, so we need to compile a temporary object file with asm-prototypes.h instead, and similarly need to ensure the DWARF in the temporary object file contains the necessary types. To always emit type information for external exports, add explicit __gendwarfksyms_ptr_<symbol> references to them in EXPORT_SYMBOL(). gendwarfksyms will use the type information for __gendwarfksyms_ptr_* if needed. Discard the pointers from the final binary to avoid further bloat. Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
