Subject: [PATCH v13 03/36] dyndbg.lds.S: fix lost dyndbg sections in modules
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 14:01:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408200211.43821-4-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408200211.43821-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com>
In an (unused) experimental variation of this series, I had trouble
with __dyndbg* sections getting lost in drm drivers. While it didn't
happen in this series, it exposed a non-obvious weakness. So fix it,
by following the model demonstrated in codetag.lds.h.
Introduce include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h, with 2 macros:
DYNDBG_SECTIONS moves the 2 BOUNDED_SECTION_BY calls from DATA_DATA in
vmlinux.lds.h, which now includes the file and calls the new macro.
MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS also has the 2 BOUNDED_SECTION_BY calls, but wraps
them with output section syntax to keep them as known and separate ELF
sections in the module.ko.
dyndbg.lds.h includes (reuses) bounded-section.lds.h
scripts/module.lds.S: now calls MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS right before the
CODETAG macro (consistent with their placements in vmlinux.lds.h), and
also includes dyndbg.lds.h
This isolates vmlinux.lds.h from further __dyndbg section additions.
