Name space analysis for 2.1.23. Sections :- 1) .config used for the analysis. 2) Empty modules (no useful code). 3) Multiply defined symbols. 4) Unresolvable external references. 5) External symbols which are not used outside the modules in which they are defined. As a slight change from previous analysis, EXPORT_...(symbol) is not counted as a reference, this picks up symbols that are exported but not used. Symbols whose only external reference is by EXPORT_... are marked "(export only)".
The full report is too big to mail (2,700 lines). It can be fetched by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.ocs.com.au/pub/extra_externals-2.1.23.gz. Could developers please look at this report and see if their symbols really need to be externally visible (for many sources the answer is no).
