Subject: [PATCH 00/14] objtool/klp: sympos/module/alternative/etc fixes
Date: Sun,  2 Aug 2026 20:24:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1785727106.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)

This consolidates fixes for the klp-build issues reported by Joe over
the last several weeks, plus some more things I found while
testing/reviewing.

Fun stuff like symbol resolution, module dependencies, alternatives.

MODULE MAINTAINERS: see patches 7 and 8, you can probably ignore the
rest.

Joe Lawrence (2):
  objtool/klp: Normalize Module.symvers paths to module names
  objtool/klp: Allow new references to module exports

Josh Poimboeuf (12):
  objtool/klp: Fix module name normalization for paths with dots
  objtool/klp: Fix false module dependencies caused by dead relocs
  objtool/klp: Skip hidden directories when finding objects
  objtool/klp: Add .klp.symid for sympos disambiguation
  objtool/klp: Fix symbol resolution for duplicate data symbols
  module: Add module_kallsyms_on_each_core_symbol()
  objtool/klp,livepatch: Resolve module symbols against core kallsyms
  objtool/klp: Fix size of empty special section entries
  objtool/klp: Ignore replacement offset of empty x86 alternatives
  objtool/klp: Explicitly disallow patching or referencing init
    code/data
  objtool/klp: Fix cross-module klp relocation section naming
  objtool/klp: Don't match local symbols against exports
