Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] objtool/klp: Correlate locals to globals
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 14:22:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219222239.3650400-8-song@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260219222239.3650400-1-song@kernel.org>
Allow correlating original locals to patched globals, and vice versa.
This is needed when:
1. User adds/removes "static" for a function.
2. CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN promotes local functions and objects to global
and add .llvm.<hash> suffix.
Given this is a less common scenario, show warnings when this is needed.
