Subject[PATCH] /proc/modules change
Date
Linus, please apply.

This changes /proc/modules to have fixed space-separated format,
independent of CONFIG options or how many module dependencies there
are.

Old format: modname modsize [refcount [dep1] [dep2] ...]
New format: modname modsize refcount deps1,[dep2,]...

The module-init-tools have understood this format for over a month
now. This change allows us to add new fields, ie. module state,
module address, etc.

Rusty.

Name: /proc/modules rework
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Tested on 2.5.54

D: This changes the dependency list in /proc/modules to be one field,
D: rather than a space-separated set of dependencies, and makes sure
D: the contents are there even if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is off, etc.
D:
D: This allows us to append fields (eg. the module address for
D: oprofile, and the module status) without breaking userspace.
D: module-init-tools already handles this format (which you can detect
D: by the presence of "-" or "," in the fourth field).

D: Old format: modname modsize [refcount [dep1] [dep2] ...]
D: New format: modname modsize refcount deps1,[dep2,]...
