[PATCH] kallsyms: let kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol match symbols exactly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, kallsyms.c:cleanup_symbol_name() removes symbols
suffixes during comparison. This is problematic for livepatch, as
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol may find multiple matches for the same
symbol, and fail with:

  livepatch: unresolvable ambiguity for symbol 'xxx' in object 'yyy'

Make kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() to match symbols exactly. Since
livepatch is the only user of kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(), this
change is safe.
