Enumeration constants read from a symbol reference file can incorrectly
affect new enumeration constants parsed from an actual input file.
Example:
$ cat test.c
enum { E_A, E_B, E_MAX };
struct bar { int mem[E_MAX]; };
int foo(struct bar *a) {}
__GENKSYMS_EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
$ cat test.c | ./scripts/genksyms/genksyms -T test.0.symtypes
#SYMVER foo 0x070d854d
$ cat test.0.symtypes
E#E_MAX 2
s#bar struct bar { int mem [ E#E_MAX ] ; }
foo int foo ( s#bar * )
$ cat test.c | ./scripts/genksyms/genksyms -T test.1.symtypes -r test.0.symtypes
<stdin>:4: warning: foo: modversion changed because of changes in enum constant E_MAX
#SYMVER foo 0x9c9dfd81
$ cat test.1.symtypes
E#E_MAX ( 2 ) + 3
s#bar struct bar { int mem [ E#E_MAX ] ; }
foo int foo ( s#bar * )
The __add_symbol() function includes logic to handle the incrementation of
enumeration values, but this code is also invoked when reading a reference
file. As a result, the variables last_enum_expr and enum_counter might be
incorrectly set after reading the reference file, which later affects
parsing of the actual input.
Fix the problem by splitting the logic for the incrementation of
enumeration values into a separate function process_enum() and call it from
__add_symbol() only when processing non-reference data.

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 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.
