The biggest change is just the change of INSTALL_MOD_DIR from "extra" to "updates" which I found lingered for ages for no good reason while testing the CXL mock driver [0]. The CXL mock driver has no kconfig integration and requires building an external module... and re-building the *rest* of the production drivers. This mock driver when loaded but not the production ones will crash. All this can obviously be fixed by integrating kconfig semantics into such test module, however that's not desirable by the maintainer, and so sensible defaults must be used to ensure a default "make modules_install" will suffice for most distros which do not have a file like /etc/depmod.d/dist.conf with something like `search updates extra built-in`. Since most distros rely on kmod and since its inception the "updates" directory is always in the search path it makes more sense to use that than the "extra" which only *some* RH based systems rely on. All this stuff has been on linux-next for a while" [0] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221209062919.1096779-1-mcgrof@kernel.org * tag 'modules-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: Documentation: livepatch: module-elf-format: Remove local klp_modinfo definition module.h: Document klp_modinfo struct using kdoc module: Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool() kernel/params.c: Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool() test_kmod: stop kernel-doc warnings kbuild: Modify default INSTALL_MOD_DIR from extra to updates 2023-02-06T16:45:55+00:00 Marcos Paulo de Souza mpdesouza@suse.com 2023-02-03T12:22:21+00:00 urn:sha1:eca0edaf6caa66b6eb26277a7dce5d7296cedfca Previously the documentation existed only in Documentation/livepatch directory.

But in reality, we just need to find the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it. Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname' is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility with other usage cases. Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared) | Phase2: -->f1-->f2-->f3 Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average, then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

For every test file, we store a struct kunit_suite** NULL-terminated array. This adds quite a bit of complexity to the test filtering code in the executor. Instead, let's just make the .kunit_test_suites section contain a single giant array of struct kunit_suite pointers, which can then be directly manipulated. This array is not NULL-terminated, and so none of the test filtering code needs to NULL-terminate anything.

For built-in tests, the kunit_test_suite{,s}() macro adds a list of suites in the .kunit_test_suites linker section. However, for kernel modules, a module_init() function is used to run the test suites. This causes problems if tests are included in a module which already defines module_init/exit_module functions, as they'll conflict with the kunit-provided ones. This change removes the kunit-defined module inits, and instead parses the kunit tests from their own section in the module. After module init, we call __kunit_test_suites_init() on the contents of that section, which prepares and runs the suite. This essentially unifies the module- and non-module kunit init formats.
