kernel/module: Hide vermagic header file from general use
VERMAGIC* definitions are not supposed to be used by the drivers, see this [1] bug report, so introduce special define to guard inclusion of this header file and define it in kernel/modules.h and in internal script that generates *.mod.c files. In-tree module build: ➜ kernel git:(vermagic) ✗ make clean ➜ kernel git:(vermagic) ✗ make M=drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5 ➜ kernel git:(vermagic) ✗ modinfo drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.ko filename: /images/leonro/src/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.ko <...> vermagic: 5.6.0+ SMP mod_unload modversions Out-of-tree module build: ➜ mlx5 make -C /images/leonro/src/kernel clean M=/tmp/mlx5 ➜ mlx5 make -C /images/leonro/src/kernel M=/tmp/mlx5 ➜ mlx5 modinfo /tmp/mlx5/mlx5_ib.ko filename: /tmp/mlx5/mlx5_ib.ko <...> vermagic: 5.6.0+ SMP mod_unload modversions [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200411155623.GA22175@zn.tnic Reported-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
