Subject: markers: fix duplicate modpost entry
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26.1~42
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6fa4cd9a0ac7d49e525b6941dcf236232bd928dd;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

markers: fix duplicate modpost entry

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.
