Not very many (at least on x86 allyes) <~10. Also most users are not exported. Probably not worth an own macro. > > Could you do something like this instead: > > DEFINE_AND_EXPORT_GPL(bool, kvm_rebooting); > > The definition of DEFINE_AND_EXPORT_GPL(_type, _name) is left as an > exercise for the reader. I actually had EXPORT_SYMBOL make things always visible for a long time, but it prevents optimizing away unused code in very small non modular configurations. So I switched to separate annotations. -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
