[PATCH v2 0/6] module: various bug-fixes and clean-ups for module namespace

From: Masahiro Yamada

I was hit by some problems caused by the module namespace feature
that was merged recently. At least, the breakage of
external module builds is a fatal one. I just took a look at the code
closer, and I noticed some more issues (some are nit-picking).

V2:
- I dropped "module: avoid code duplication in include/linux/export.h"
because Matthias offered to refactor the code by himself.

- V1 missed the problem when a symbol is preloaded before
sym_add_exported() is called. I fixed it too.



Masahiro Yamada (6):
module: swap the order of symbol.namespace
modpost: fix broken sym->namespace for external module builds
module: rename __kstrtab_ns_* to __kstrtabns_* to avoid symbol
conflict
kbuild: fix build error of 'make nsdeps' in clean tree
nsdeps: fix hashbang of scripts/nsdeps
nsdeps: make generated patches independent of locale
