      s390: mm: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h · ff24b07a
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
      a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
      support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
      when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
      
      This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
      in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
      in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
      adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
      headers we are effectively using.
      
      Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
      export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
      for the presence of either and replace as needed.  An instance
      where module_param was used without moduleparam.h was also fixed,
      as well as an implict use of asm/elf.h header.

      revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

      s390/kdump: Use "LINUX" ELF note name instead of "CORE" · a4a81d8e
      Michael Holzheu authored
      In binutils/libbfd (bfd/elf.c) it is enforced that all s390 specific ELF
      notes like e.g. NT_S390_PREFIX or NT_S390_CTRS have "LINUX" specified
      as note name. Otherwise the notes are ignored.
      
      For /proc/vmcore we currently use "CORE" for these notes.
      
      Up to now this has not been a real problem because the dump analysis tool
      "crash" does not check the note name. But it will break all programs that
      use libbfd for processing ELF notes.
      
      So fix this and use "LINUX" for all s390 specific notes to comply with
      libbfd.
