Subject: [PATCH v4][makedumpfile 1/7] Reserve sections for makedumpfile and extenions
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 04:07:37 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317150743.69590-2-ltao@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317150743.69590-1-ltao@redhat.com>
This patch makes preparation for btf/kallsyms support of
makedumpfile and extensions. Any needed kernel symbols/types
will be reserved within a special section, .init_ksyms for
kallsyms symbols and .init_ktypes for kernel types. During
makedumpfile kallsyms/btf initialization, those missing info
will be resolved. A makedumpfile.ld script is introduced for the
purpose.
