Subject: kernel: include modinfo for built-in modules
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e1d8e576147d813398c6797ca866f9d8a41a350e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fthess.git

kernel: include modinfo for built-in modules

Add modules.builtin.modinfo to the kernel package, to support presence
testing using module aliases and printing module details with 'modinfo'.

With related kmodloader changes this adds ~2 KB to compressed image sizes.

     root@OpenWrt:/# modinfo unix
     name:           unix
     filename:       (builtin)
     alias:          net-pf-1
     license:        GPL

     root@OpenWrt:/# modprobe net-pf-1 && echo SUCCESS || echo FAIL
     SUCCESS
