Subject: Bug: MODPOST mismatch ignored due to LTO
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2022 12:31:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y39kI3MOtVI5BAnV@google.com> (raw)

Hi all,

It seems that enabling LTO breaks the check for section mismatch in modpost.

If I create on purpose a mismatch here's the output without LTO

check_section_mismatch()
  fromsec=.text
  tosec=.init.text
  sym=kvm_arch_vcpu_create

=> section mismatch in reference: kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu (section: .text) -> kvm_arch_vcpu_create (section: .init.text)

While with LTO:

check_section_mismatch()
  fromsec=.text.kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu 
  tosec=.init.text
  sym=kvm_arch_vcpu_create

=> mismatch ignored, the section ".text.kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu" is
unsurprisingly unknown

LTO seems to append the symbol name to the section which is a problem for
modpost.

Is that a known issue?

Thanks,
Vincent
