Christoph Hellwig 1d24328048 modules: only allow symbol_get of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL modules
commit 9011e49d54dcc7653ebb8a1e05b5badb5ecfa9f9 upstream.

It has recently come to my attention that nvidia is circumventing the
protection added in 262e6ae7081d ("modules: inherit
TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE") by importing exports from their proprietary
modules into an allegedly GPL licensed module and then rexporting them.

Given that symbol_get was only ever intended for tightly cooperating
modules using very internal symbols it is logical to restrict it to
being used on EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and prevent nvidia from costly DMCA
Circumvention of Access Controls law suites.

All symbols except for four used through symbol_get were already exported
as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, and the remaining four ones were switched over in
the preparation patches.

Fixes: 262e6ae7081d ("modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE")

README

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.
