Subject: [PATCH v8 06/29] KVM: Move export symbol check macros to Makefile.kvm
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:30:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918133107.1042730-7-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918133107.1042730-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>
The EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL/EXPORT_SYMBOL enforcement logic in
arch/x86/kvm/Makefile is useful for any KVM architecture wanting to
restrict the exported symbols. Move the check macros to
virt/kvm/Makefile.kvm so they can be shared.
Arch Makefiles only need to set kvm_exports_allowed to a space-separated
list of symbols that are permitted and then call kvm_check_exports for
each symbol type they want to enforce.
No functional change.
