Subject: [PATCH 00/14] objtool/klp: sympos/module/alternative/etc fixes
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 20:24:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1785727106.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
This consolidates fixes for the klp-build issues reported by Joe over
the last several weeks, plus some more things I found while
testing/reviewing.
Fun stuff like symbol resolution, module dependencies, alternatives.
MODULE MAINTAINERS: see patches 7 and 8, you can probably ignore the
rest.
Joe Lawrence (2):
objtool/klp: Normalize Module.symvers paths to module names
objtool/klp: Allow new references to module exports
Josh Poimboeuf (12):
objtool/klp: Fix module name normalization for paths with dots
objtool/klp: Fix false module dependencies caused by dead relocs
objtool/klp: Skip hidden directories when finding objects
objtool/klp: Add .klp.symid for sympos disambiguation
objtool/klp: Fix symbol resolution for duplicate data symbols
module: Add module_kallsyms_on_each_core_symbol()
objtool/klp,livepatch: Resolve module symbols against core kallsyms
objtool/klp: Fix size of empty special section entries
objtool/klp: Ignore replacement offset of empty x86 alternatives
objtool/klp: Explicitly disallow patching or referencing init
code/data
objtool/klp: Fix cross-module klp relocation section naming
objtool/klp: Don't match local symbols against exports
