This patch series is intended for use alongside the Implement DWARF
modversions series [1] to enable RUST and MODVERSIONS at the same
time.
Elsewhere, we've seen a desire for long symbol name support for LTO
symbol names [2], and the previous series came up [3] as a possible
solution rather than hashing, which some have objected [4] to.
This series adds a MODVERSIONS format which uses a section per column.
This avoids userspace tools breaking if we need to make a similar change
to the format in the future - we would do so by adding a new section,
rather than editing the struct definition. In the new format, the name
section is formatted as a concatenated sequence of NUL-terminated
strings, which allows for arbitrary length names.
Emitting the extended format is guarded by CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS,
but the kernel always knows how to validate both the original and
extended formats.
Selecting RUST and MODVERSIONS is now possible if GENDWARFKSYMS is
selected, and will implicitly select EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS.
This series depends upon the module verification refactor patches [5]
that were split off of v5, and DWARF-based versions [1].
linuxppc-dev is requested to look at the ppc-specific munging,
as Luis would like some eyes on there [6].

Yes, please do the homework to check the history of export_report.pl and just nuke it if we don't need it. Ignoring it just because it may not be used is not the right thing. If you don't find the history on the current tree we have the history.git tree [0] I often use to go down memory lane pre-git.
