Subject: kbuild: when warning symbols exported twice now tell user this is the problem
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b75b13cda8bd21e8636ea985f76e1ce5bd1a470;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

kbuild: when warning symbols exported twice now tell user this is the problem

Warning now looks like this:
WARNING: vmlinux: 'strcpy' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux

Which gives much better hint how to fix it.
