Subject: [PATCH 37/48] objtool/klp: Remove "objtool --checksum"
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 21:04:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d11a2f7a57690fc4b6a8a02414d07b41dbebeb2b.1776916871.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1776916871.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>

The checksum functionality has been moved to "objtool klp checksum"
which is now used by klp-build.  Remove the now-dead --checksum and
--debug-checksum options from the default objtool command.

Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
