Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86: Avoid indirect includes through linux/module.h -> linux/elf.h
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 17:37:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707153819.4172541-2-petr.pavlu@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707153819.4172541-1-petr.pavlu@suse.com>
Several x86 files use ELF-related declarations and currently rely on them
being provided indirectly through linux/module.h -> linux/elf.h:
* arch/x86/entry/entry_fred.c: ia32_enabled() -> asm/ia32.h,
* arch/x86/entry/syscall_32.c: vdso32_image -> asm/vdso.h,
* arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c: ELF_HWCAP2 -> asm/elf.h,
* arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c: elf_coredump_extra_notes_write(),
elf_coredump_extra_notes_size(), NT_X86_XSAVE_LAYOUT, elf_note ->
linux/elf.h,
* arch/x86/kernel/process.c: mmap_is_ia32() -> asm/elf.h,
* arch/x86/kernel/signal.c: get_sigframe_size() -> asm/elf.h.
Add the missing includes to these files in preparation for removing the
linux/elf.h include from linux/module.h.
