Previously, two things stopped Rust from using MODVERSIONS: 1. Rust symbols are occasionally too long to be represented in the original versions table 2. Rust types cannot be properly hashed by the existing genksyms approach because: * Looking up type definitions in Rust is more complex than C * Type layout is potentially dependent on the compiler in Rust, not just the source type declaration. CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS addresses the first point, and CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS the second. If Rust wants to use MODVERSIONS, allow it to do so by selecting both features.

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.
