Merge patch series "Add generated modalias to modules.builtin.modinfo"
Alexey Gladkov says: The modules.builtin.modinfo file is used by userspace (kmod to be specific) to get information about builtin modules. Among other information about the module, information about module aliases is stored. This is very important to determine that a particular modalias will be handled by a module that is inside the kernel. There are several mechanisms for creating modalias for modules: The first is to explicitly specify the MODULE_ALIAS of the macro. In this case, the aliases go into the '.modinfo' section of the module if it is compiled separately or into vmlinux.o if it is builtin into the kernel. The second is the use of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE followed by the use of the modpost utility. In this case, vmlinux.o no longer has this information and does not get it into modules.builtin.modinfo. For example: $ modinfo pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30 modinfo: ERROR: Module pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30 not found. $ modinfo xhci_pci name: xhci_pci filename: (builtin) license: GPL file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver The builtin module is missing alias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by modpost if the module is built separately. To fix this it is necessary to add the generated by modpost modalias to modules.builtin.modinfo. Fortunately modpost already generates .vmlinux.export.c for exported symbols. It is possible to add `.modinfo` for builtin modules and modify the build system so that `.modinfo` section is extracted from the intermediate vmlinux after modpost is executed.
