JIRA: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHEL-152193 commit ab10815472fcbc2c772dc21a979460b7f74f0145 Author: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com> Date: Fri Jan 23 11:26:56 2026 +0100 livepatch: Fix having __klp_objects relics in non-livepatch modules The linker script scripts/module.lds.S specifies that all input __klp_objects sections should be consolidated into an output section of the same name, and start/stop symbols should be created to enable scripts/livepatch/init.c to locate this data. This start/stop pattern is not ideal for modules because the symbols are created even if no __klp_objects input sections are present. Consequently, a dummy __klp_objects section also appears in the resulting module. This unnecessarily pollutes non-livepatch modules. Instead, since modules are relocatable files, the usual method for locating consolidated data in a module is to read its section table. This approach avoids the aforementioned problem. The klp_modinfo already stores a copy of the entire section table with the final addresses. Introduce a helper function that scripts/livepatch/init.c can call to obtain the location of the __klp_objects section from this data.
