Subject: [PATCH v4 08/12] livepatch/klp-build: improve short-circuit validation
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 16:37:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310203751.1479229-9-joe.lawrence@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310203751.1479229-1-joe.lawrence@redhat.com>

Update SHORT_CIRCUIT behavior to better handle patch validation and
argument processing in later klp-build steps.

Perform patch validation for both step 1 (building original kernel) and
step 2 (building patched kernel) to ensure patches are verified before
any compilation occurs.

Additionally, allow the user to omit input patches when skipping past
step 2.

Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>
