Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"
This reverts commit 4dd1837d . Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions. While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above change: - We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms become more fragile: * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in the selected configuration makes use of the symbol. * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten, with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch the file. - We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes, they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their exports. As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction: (original commit) 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-) (fix for ksyms trimming) 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (two fixes for modversions) 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted. As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach, revert the change. Signed-off-by:Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
