Subject: kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearer
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc3~109^2~8
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2560120997403581dd824e5bd2389c719edcbf12;p=linux-2.6

kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearer

Change modpost section mismatch warnings to be less confusing;
model them on the binutils linker warnings which we all know how
to interpret.

Also, fix the wrong ordering of arguments for the final case -
fromsec and refsymname were reversed.
