Now, I'm trying to build linux-next (host Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64) with: $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- But I can't get these warnings. I would like to check the type of this asm symbols. It seems like they are STT_NOTYPE. In this case the fix could also involve ELF_ST_TYPE check.

I only have one randconfig build that caused these, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D6w8RNS7MG/ for the .config I was building linux-next with the clang-9 toolchain from http://apt.llvm.org, but that should not matter here. > > I would like to check the type of this asm symbols.

Thus they get to the symbolhash table from handle_modversions() -> sym_update_crc(). Since there is no the exact symbols, e.g. like nm vmlinux | grep __kmalloc 2d6fcc06 A __crc___kmalloc c01c922d T __kmalloc <--- c0749192 r __kstrtab___kmalloc c073c7c4 r __ksymtab___kmalloc we can't check them in this cycle: // check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL_* functions && global vars for (sym = info.symtab_start; sym < info.symtab_stop; sym++) { and they are automatically marked as static. That's all so far, I don't know is it correct to have only __crc* or not for a symbol. Just a sidenote: arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c states that these are /* * libgcc functions - functions that are used internally by the * compiler...
