Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] objtool/klp: klp-build LTO support and tests
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:54:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226005436.379303-1-song@kernel.org> (raw)

Add support for LTO in klp-build toolchain. The key changes are to the
symbol correlation logic.Basically, we want to:

1. Match symbols with differerent .llvm.<hash> suffixes, e.g., foo.llvm.123
   to foo.llvm.456.
2. Match local symbols with promoted global symbols, e.g., local foo
   with global foo.llvm.123.

1/8 and 2/8 are small cleanup/fix for existing code.
3/8 through 7/8 contains the core logic changes to correlate_symbols().
8/8 contains tests for klp-build toolchain.

Changes v2 => v3:
1. Fix a bug in global => local correlations (patch 7/8).
2. Remove a WARN().
3. Some empty line changes.

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Error out on ambiguous .llvm.<hash>

Song Liu (8):
  objtool/klp: Remove redundent strcmp in correlate_symbols
  objtool/klp: Remove trailing '_' in demangle_name()
  objtool/klp: Use sym->demangled_name for symbol_name hash
  objtool/klp: Also demangle global objects
  objtool/klp: Remove .llvm suffix in demangle_name()
  objtool/klp: Match symbols based on demangled_name for global
    variables
  objtool/klp: Correlate locals to globals
  livepatch: Add tests for klp-build toolchain
