Subject: [PATCH 0/4] x86: Restrict KVM-induced symbol exports to KVM
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 09:39:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251112173944.1380633-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

Leverage and extend KVM's macro shenanigans to export symbols for KVM if
and only if kvm{,-amd,intel}.ko is being built as a module, and only for
the KVM modules that are being built.

Note, this approach isn't 100% precise, as exports that are only strictly
necessary for one of KVM's modules will get exported for all KVM modules.
But I don't see any value in being super precise as it's not like kvm.ko is
any more trustworthy tha kvm-{amd,intel}.ko (and it's easy to circumvent
"for module" exports by abusing module names (in out-of-tree code)).  And
maintaining precise exports would likely be a nightmare (as would writing
the macros to get the exports right).

Patches 1-3 drop superfluous exports that I found while digging around for
KVM-only exports.

Sean Christopherson (4):
  x86/bugs: Drop unnecessary export of "x86_spec_ctrl_base"
  x86/mtrr: Drop unnecessary export of "mtrr_state"
  x86/mm: Drop unnecessary export of "ptdump_walk_pgd_level_debugfs"
  x86: Restrict KVM-induced symbol exports to KVM modules where
    obvious/possible
