Pull modules fixes from Jessica Yu:

 - Revert __ksymtab_$namespace.$symbol naming scheme back to
   __ksymtab_$symbol, as it was causing issues with depmod.

   Instead, have modpost extract a symbol's namespace from __kstrtabns
   and __ksymtab_strings.

 - Fix `make nsdeps` for out of tree kernel builds (make O=...) caused
   by unescaped '/'.

   Use a different sed delimiter to avoid this problem.

* tag 'modules-for-v5.4-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux:
  scripts/nsdeps: use alternative sed delimiter
  symbol namespaces: revert to previous __ksymtab name scheme
  modpost: make updating the symbol namespace explicit
  modpost: delegate updating namespaces to separate function

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 Restructured Text 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.
