+Subject: [PATCH] modpost: add a helper to get data pointed by a symbol
+
+When CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is enabled, the value of __crc_* is not
+an absolute value, but the address to the CRC data embedded in the
+.rodata section.
+
+Getting the data pointed by the symbol value is somewhat complex.
+Split it out into a new helper, sym_get_data().
+
+I will reuse it to refactor namespace_from_kstrtabns() in the next
+commit.

+Subject: [PATCH] modpost: refactor namespace_from_kstrtabns() to not hard-code
+ section name
+
+Currently, namespace_from_kstrtabns() relies on the fact that
+namespace strings are recorded in the __ksymtab_strings section.
+Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does
+not need to hard-code the section name.
+
+Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is
+a more portable way to get the namespace string.
+
+Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete
+the info->ksymtab_strings .
+
+While I was here, I added more 'const' qualifiers to pointers.
