modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case
> James Bottomley (1):
> module: workaround duplicate section names
-tip testing found that this patch breaks the build on x86 if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled:
kernel/module.c: In function ‘load_module’:
kernel/module.c:2367: error: ‘struct module’ has no member named ‘sect_attrs’
distcc[8269] ERROR: compile kernel/module.c on ph/32 failed
make[1]: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Commit 1b364bf misses the fact that section attributes are only
built and dealt with if kallsyms is enabled. The patch below fixes
this.
( note, technically speaking this should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS as
well but this patch is correct too and keeps the #ifdef less
intrusive - in the KALLSYMS && !SYSFS case the code is a NOP. )
