Subject: [PATCH v2 17/53] objtool: Move mark_rodata() to elf.c
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:08:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462986f6b02ad95ac87115b5ddcc5260c036faf.1777575752.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1777575752.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Move the sec->rodata marking from check.c to elf.c so it's set during
ELF reading rather than during the check pipeline.  This makes the
rodata flag available to all objtool users, including klp-diff which
reads ELF files directly without running check().

Add an is_rodata_sec() helper to elf.h for consistency with
is_text_sec() and is_string_sec().
