The module namespace produces __strtab_ns_<sym> symbols to store namespace strings, but it does not guarantee the name uniqueness. This is a potential problem because we have exported symbols starting with "ns_". For example, kernel/capability.c exports the following symbols: EXPORT_SYMBOL(ns_capable); EXPORT_SYMBOL(capable); Assume a situation where those are converted as follows: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(ns_capable, some_namespace); EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(capable, some_namespace); The former expands to "__kstrtab_ns_capable" and "__kstrtab_ns_ns_capable", and the latter to "__kstrtab_capable" and "__kstrtab_ns_capable". Then, we have the duplicated "__kstrtab_ns_capable". To ensure the uniqueness, rename "__kstrtab_ns_*" to "__kstrtabns_*".

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
