Subject: [PATCH v6 2/9] kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 15:07:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <243fb41d0b5309920365c5a3c00017a3021ccf1e.1755170493.git.legion@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1755170493.git.legion@kernel.org>

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

Keep the .modinfo section during linking, but strip it from the final
vmlinux.

Adjust scripts/mksysmap to exclude modinfo symbols from kallsyms.

This change will allow the next commit to extract the .modinfo section
from the vmlinux.unstripped intermediate.
