Happy new 2024 Masahiro, some small nits. What about adding links to the commits... linux/export: Fix alignment for 64-bit ksymtab entries [ Upstream commit f6847807c22f6944c71c981b630b9fff30801e73 ] linux/export: Ensure natural alignment of kcrctab array [ Upstream commit 753547de0daecbdbd1af3618987ddade325d9aaa ] ^^ AFAICS in linux-stable - v6.6.10-rc1 includes both ^^ Is yours a follow-up and makes sense for linux-stable releases? ...and CC Helge Deller?

The .export_symbol is already discarded. The alignment of discarded code is "don't care". So, this is a code clean-up. I do not think there is a noticeable difference in the build speed. See line 1005 of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h.lds #define COMMON_DISCARDS \ SANITIZER_DISCARDS \ PATCHABLE_DISCARDS \ *(.discard) \ *(.discard.*) \ *(.export_symbol) \ *(.modinfo) \ /* ld.bfd warns about .gnu.version* even when not emitted */ \ *(.gnu.version*) > > > > > > > > > > > > ...and CC Helge Deller? > > > > CC in the patch - makes for me only sense if you agree on adding above > commit-ids of Helge's work. > I think this is good in sense of follow-able references. > > Best regards, > -Sedat- > > > > > You did it. > > > > > > Thanks. > > > > > > > > > > > > > Best regards, > > > -Sedat- > > > > > > Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/log/?h=linux-6.6.y > > > > > > On Wed, Jan 3, 2024 at 2:55 PM Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> wrote: > > > > > > > > The .export_symbol section is discarded by the linker script, hence > > > > no alignment is needed.
