Subject: [PATCHv6 09/13] kexec_file: Factor out routine to find a symbol in ELF
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:24:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119032424.10781-10-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119032424.10781-1-piliu@redhat.com>
The routine to search a symbol in ELF can be shared, so split it out.
