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.
