Subject: [for-next][PATCH 18/18] tracing: Check for undefined symbols in simple_ring_buffer
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:35:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310143605.293978760@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260310143515.132579088@kernel.org

From: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>

The simple_ring_buffer implementation must remain simple enough to be
used by the pKVM hypervisor. Prevent the object build if unresolved
symbols are found.
