This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled libbpf: Fix VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT number parsing to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: libbpf-fix-versioned_sym_count-number-parsing.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 68ecced425590b8cfeeb1793aa529ca4c31c263f Author: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 18 22:13:50 2020 +0100 libbpf: Fix VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT number parsing [ Upstream commit 1fd6cee127e2ddff36d648573d7566aafb0d0b77 ] We remove "other info" from "readelf -s --wide" output when parsing GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable, which was added in [1]. But we don't do that for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT and it's failing the check_abi target on powerpc Fedora 33. The extra "other info" wasn't problem for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT parsing until commit [2] added awk in the pipe, which assumes that the last column is symbol, but it can be "other info". Adding "other info" removal for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT the same way as we did for GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT parsing.
