From e0f244c63fc9d192dfd399cc2677bbdca61994b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] asmlinkage, module: Make ksymtab and kcrctab symbols and
__this_module __visible
Make the ksymtab symbols for EXPORT_SYMBOL visible.
This prevents the LTO compiler from adding a .NUMBER prefix,
which avoids various problems in later export processing.
