Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] module: add module_elf_check_arch for module-specific checks
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 22:07:32 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221031120733.3956781-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221031120733.3956781-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
The elf_check_arch() function is also used to test compatibility of
usermode binaries. Kernel modules may have more specific requirements,
for example powerpc would like to test for ABI version compatibility.
Add a weak module_elf_check_arch() that defaults to true, and call it
from elf_validity_check().
