Subject: [PATCH 1/1] objtool/klp: Fix is_uncorrelated_static_local() for Clang naming
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 10:49:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408144919.3825518-1-joe.lawrence@redhat.com> (raw)
For naming function-local static locals, GCC uses "<var>.<id>":
e.g. __already_done.15
while Clang uses "<func>.<var>" with optional ".<id>"
e.g. create_worker.__already_done.111
The existing is_uncorrelated_static_local() check only matches the GCC
convention where the variable name is a prefix. Handle both cases by
checking for a prefix match (GCC) and by checking after the first dot
separator (Clang).
Fixes: dd590d4d57eb ("objtool/klp: Introduce klp diff subcommand for diffing object files")
