-Subject: Revert "default exported asm symbols to zero"
-
-This reverts commit 8ab2ae655bfe384335c5b6b0d6041e0ddce26b00, which
-broke asm symbol versioning when I tried it:
-
-> I tried this along with Adam's patch on x86_64, with Debian's binutils
-> 2.27.51.20161127.  The result was that the kernel's __kcrctab held 0
-> for several symbols, even though there was type information in asm-
-> prototypes.h and Module.symvers and the modules had a non-zero CRC for
-> those symbols.  With just Adam's patch, the kernel and modules agreed.
