Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/3] lib/buildid: rename build_id_parse() into build_id_parse_nofault()
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 12:01:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908160130.2548511-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090332-suffrage-hatchback-38cf@gregkh>
From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 45b8fc3096542a53bfd245a9ad8ef870384b4897 ]
Make it clear that build_id_parse() assumes that it can take no page
fault by renaming it and current few users to build_id_parse_nofault().
Also add build_id_parse() stub which for now falls back to non-sleepable
implementation, but will be changed in subsequent patches to take
advantage of sleepable context. PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl() on
/proc/<pid>/maps file is using build_id_parse() and will automatically
take advantage of more reliable sleepable context implementation.
