Copying Module.symvers is the oldest supported method for building external
kernel modules that depend on another external kernel module. Since support
for that method will be removed from Linux kernel v5.5, use
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS instead to specify the external symbols SCST kernel
modules depend on. Support for KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS was introduced in
upstream kernel v2.6.26 so this patch drops support for kernels before
v2.6.26.

This patch adds support for kernel module namespaces. This patch is essential
when using SCST in combination with kernel version v5.4 or later.

Move the build_mode file from the top level into the scst directory. Write
build mode defines into scst/include/build_mode.h and include that file
directly or indirectly in all source files that depend on these #defines.
This approach has the advantage that "make clean" does no longer has to
be run when switching between build modes because the kernel build system
recognizes build_mode.h as a dependency and triggers a rebuild of all
source files that directly or indirectly include the build_mode.h header
file.

This patch avoids that the build_mode file is read when applying the
generate-kernel-patch output to the kernel tree and when building the
kernel tree.

Move the $(SCST_INC_DIR) definitions from the out-of-tree sections into
the in-kernel sections. Since SCST is now distributed as a single tar
archive, only support in-tree builds with $(SCST_INC_DIR) and $(SCST_DIR).

Now that procfs has been removed, remove the references to procfs from
the documentation.

Since all RHEL/CentOS 5 users have upgraded to a newer version, procfs
support is no longer necessary. Hence remove procfs support. This patch
has been generated as follows:
git grep -lw CONFIG_SCST_PROC iscsi-scst qla2x00t scst scst_local srpt |\
while read f; do
echo ${f}
unifdef -U CONFIG_SCST_PROC ${f} >${f}.out
mv ${f}.out ${f}
done
followed by two small manual edits in scst/include/scst.h and also in
qla2x00t/qla2x00-target/qla2x00t.c.

This patch avoids that the following warning is reported when building
against kernel v4.21:
================= WARNING ================
'SUBDIRS' will be removed after Linux 5.3
Please use 'M=' or 'KBUILD_EXTMOD' instead
==========================================

[PATCH] kbuild: external module support
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
Based on initial patch from Andreas Gruenbacher there is now better support
for building external modules with kbuild.
The preferred syntax is now:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=$PWD
but the old syntax:
make -C $KERNELSRC SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
will remain supported.

This patch modifies scst_local such that on kernel version 3.19 and
later multiple hardware queues are used (scsi-mq). Note: in order
to benefit from concurrent processing, the number of SCST command
threads must be set to a value above one.
git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/scst/svn/trunk@7509 d57e44dd-8a1f-0410-8b47-8ef2f437770f
This patch does not change any functionality but brings the scst_local
source code more in line with recent upstream SCSI LLDs.

Avoid that building SCST with W=1 against kernel v4.15 triggers warnings about
kernel-doc header issues.
