2.6.26 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let
us know.
------------------
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj@krystal.dyndns.org>
commit: d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216
When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
when a markers was changed. This problem is present since
scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit
b2e3e658b344c6bcfb8fb694100ab2f2b5b2edb0
It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.
Credits to
Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
Wenji Huang <wenji.huang@oracle.com>
and
Takashi Nishiie <t-nishiie@np.css.fujitsu.com>
for providing the individual fixes.
- Changelog :
- Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
make clean.
