Subject: [PATCH 00/14] objtool/arm64: Port klp-build to arm64
Date: Wed,  4 Mar 2026 19:31:19 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1772681234.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)

Port objtool and the klp-build tooling (for building livepatch modules)
to arm64.

Note this doesn't bring all the objtool bells and whistles to arm64, nor
any of the CFG reverse engineering.  This only adds the bare minimum
needed for 'objtool --checksum'.

And note that objtool still doesn't get enabled at all for normal arm64
kernel builds, so this doesn't affect any users other than those running
klp-build directly.

Josh Poimboeuf (14):
  objtool: Fix data alignment in elf_add_data()
  objtool: Fix ERROR_INSN() error message
  arm64: Annotate intra-function calls
  arm64: head: Move boot header to .head.data
  arm64: Fix EFI linking with -fdata-sections
  crypto: arm64: Move data to .rodata
  objtool: Extricate checksum calculation from validate_branch()
  objtool: Allow setting --mnop without --mcount
  kbuild: Only run objtool if there is at least one command
  objtool: Ignore jumps to the end of the function for non-CFG arches
  objtool: Allow empty alternatives
  objtool: Reuse consecutive string references
  objtool: Introduce objtool for arm64
  klp-build: Support cross-compilation
