Subject: [PATCHv7 08/13] kexec_file: Factor out routine to find a symbol in ELF
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 09:43:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322014402.8815-9-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322014402.8815-1-piliu@redhat.com>

The routine to search a symbol in ELF can be shared, so split it out.
