Subject: [Patch v2] livepatch: annotate klp_init() with __init
Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 22:26:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432304789-6324-1-git-send-email-mnfhuang@gmail.com> (raw)
Usually we prefer to let compiler put the module initialized function to
section ".init.text". Thus this text in memory will be freed in future.
Once we add the "__init" preceding function name, we can use following
command to find it in specfied section.
$ objdump -t -j .init.text built-in.o
built-in.o: file format elf64-x86-64
SYMBOL TABLE:
0000000000000000 l d .init.text 0000000000000000 .init.text
0000000000000000 l F .init.text 000000000000004e klp_init
