Subject: [PATCH v12 18/30] tracing: Check for undefined symbols in simple_ring_buffer
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 15:02:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219150307.14538-19-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260219150307.14538-1-vdonnefort@google.com>
The simple_ring_buffer implementation must remain simple enough to be
used by the pKVM hypervisor. Prevent the object build if unresolved
symbols are found.
