Hi Masahiro,
I'm following this patchset changes as they will affect the klp-convert
series [1] that the livepatching folks have been working on...
Empty files .tmp_versions/*.livepatch are touched
to keep track of 'LIVEPATCH_* := y', right?
Pretty much. From that patchset I think the rework would need to modify..
- [PATCH v4 02/10] kbuild: Support for Symbols.list creation: creates a
Symbols.list file of kernel and module symbols, but *not* including any
from LIVEPATCH_* modules.
- [PATCH v4 05/10] modpost: Integrate klp-convert: if a LIVEPATCH_*
module has changed, call a newly introduced klp-convert script on it.
- [PATCH v4 06/10] modpost: Add modinfo flag to livepatch modules: find
any LIVEPATCH_* mod, add it to a livepatchmods file, then pass that file
to modpost
Perhaps, adding a new field
to *.mod files might be cleaner.
I can look into that. By "field" you mean a new row in the file?
