Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ftrace/selftests: Change non-unique test symbol to init_once
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:58:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <67ac21cd214ec9371276df9ba790e9832cf328d4.1787670777.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787670777.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com>
The name_show symbol is not the best choise, because it often
appears only three times on s390 in kallsyms, with two of them
having module annotations [mdev] and [i2c_core].
Switch to init_once which has many more duplicate instances
all in vmlinux, making it a more reliable non-unique symbol
for testing kprobe registration failure.
