      kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them · ac031f26

      Add option for stripping modules while installing them.
      
      This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being
      installed.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more
      popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed
      modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so.
      
      Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug
      information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install",
      but that may not work for people who are installing directly into
      /lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs
      worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules,
      so the "make modules_install" never succeeds.
      
      This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the
      modules as they are installed.

      kbuild: export-symbol usage report generator · c5e30033
      Ram Pai authored
      The following patch provides the ability to generate a report of
      	(1) All the exported symbols and their in-kernel-module usage count
      	(2) For each module, lists the modules and their exported symbols, on
      	                  which it depends.
      
      	the report can be generated by executing:
      	perl scripts/export_report
      
      The tool warns if the modules are not build using MODVERSIONING.

      kbuild: fix make -rR breakage · e5c44fd8
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F)
      to get target filename without extension.
      This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using:
      $(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality.
