Subject: [PATCH 3/6] objtool: Don't alias undefined symbols
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 12:52:17 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bc401173a7717757eee672fc1ca5a20451d77b86.1763671318.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1763671318.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Objtool is mistakenly aliasing all undefined symbols. That's obviously
wrong, though it has no consequence since objtool happens to only use
sym->alias for defined symbols. Fix it regardless.
