From 5066743e4c2f702c1da8ba00a1dc217527a0ab7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Sun, 1 May 2022 17:40:08 +0900 Subject: modpost: change mod->gpl_compatible to bool type Currently, mod->gpl_compatible is tristate; it is set to -1 by default, then to 1 or 0 when MODULE_LICENSE() is found. Maybe, -1 was chosen to represent the 'unknown' license, but it is not useful. The current code: if (!mod->gpl_compatible) check_for_gpl_usage(exp->export, basename, exp->name); ... only cares whether gpl_compatible is zero or not. Change it to a bool type with the initial value 'true', which has no functional change. The default value should be 'true' instead of 'false'. Since commit 1d6cd3929360 ("modpost: turn missing MODULE_LICENSE() into error"), unknown module license is an error. The error message, "missing MODULE_LICENSE()" is enough to explain the issue. It is not sensible to show another message, "GPL-incompatible module ... uses GPL-only symbol". Add comments to explain this. While I was here, I renamed gpl_compatible to is_gpl_compatible for clarification, and also slightly refactored the code.
