Subject: [PATCH v5][makedumpfile 5/9] Implement kernel module's btf resolving
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:26:52 +1200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414102656.55200-6-ltao@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414102656.55200-1-ltao@redhat.com>
Same as the previous patch, with kernel's kallsyms and btf ready,
we can locate and iterate all kernel modules' btf data. So kernel
modules' types specified within .init_ksyms section will be resolved.
