[PATCH] markers: modpost
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS.
Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a
Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists
the name, defining module, and format string of each marker,
separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by
offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to
how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.
The method of extracting the strings is somewhat crude, but is very
simple and should work fine in practice for the foreseeable future.
