arch: split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions out to <asm/vermagic.h>
As the bug report [1] pointed out, <linux/vermagic.h> must be included after <linux/module.h>. I believe we should not impose any include order restriction. We often sort include directives alphabetically, but it is just coding style convention. Technically, we can include header files in any order by making every header self-contained. Currently, arch-specific MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC is defined in <asm/module.h>, which is not included from <linux/vermagic.h>. Hence, the straight-forward fix-up would be as follows: |--- a/include/linux/vermagic.h |+++ b/include/linux/vermagic.h |@@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ | /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ | #include <generated/utsrelease.h> |+#include <linux/module.h> | | /* Simply sanity version stamp for modules. */ | #ifdef CONFIG_SMP This works enough, but for further cleanups, I split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions into <asm/vermagic.h>. With this, <linux/module.h> and <linux/vermagic.h> will be orthogonal, and the location of MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions will be consistent. For arc and ia64, MODULE_PROC_FAMILY is only used for defining MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC. I squashed it. For hexagon, nds32, and xtensa, I removed <asm/modules.h> entirely because they contained nothing but MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definition. Kbuild will automatically generate <asm/modules.h> at build-time, wrapping <asm-generic/module.h>.
