Description
As of Linux 4.18, there are more than 30000 exported symbols in the kernel that can be used by loadable kernel modules. These exported symbols are all part of a global namespace, and there seems to be consensus among kernel devs that the export surface is too large, and hard to reason about. This talk describes a series of patches that introduce symbol namespaces, in order to more clearly delineate the export surface.
