Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] modpost: populate kflagstab
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:55:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305-kflagstab-v4-3-6a76bf8b83c7@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305-kflagstab-v4-0-6a76bf8b83c7@google.com>
This patch adds the ability to create entries for kernel symbol flag
bitsets in kflagstab. Modpost populates only the GPL-only flag for now.
