Subject: [PATCH v2 39/53] objtool/klp: Extricate checksum calculation from validate_branch()
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:08:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a455b47ef57dcc3506cd97e3c2027ac744941cf1.1777575752.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1777575752.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
In preparation for porting the checksum code to other arches, make its
functionality independent from the CFG reverse engineering code.
Move it into a standalone calculate_checksums() function which iterates
all functions and instructions directly, rather than being called inline
from do_validate_branch().
Since checksum_update_insn() is no longer called during CFG traversal,
it needs to manually iterate the alternatives.
