Since commit 13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working directory to external
module directory with M="), module paths are always relative to the top
of the external module tree.
The module paths recorded in Module.symvers are no longer globally unique
when they are passed via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS for building other external
modules, which may result in false-positive "exported twice" errors.
Such errors should not occur because external modules should be able to
override in-tree modules.
To address this, record the dump file path in struct module and check it
when searching for a module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
