Subject: [PATCH] kallsyms: remove unused arch_get_kallsym() helper

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

The arch_get_kallsym() function was introduced so that x86 could override
it, but that override was removed in bf904d2762ee ("x86/pti/64: Remove
the SYSCALL64 entry trampoline"), so now this does nothing except causing
a warning about a missing prototype:

kernel/kallsyms.c:662:12: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_get_kallsym' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
662 | int __weak arch_get_kallsym(unsigned int symnum, unsigned long *value,

Restore the old behavior before d83212d5dd67 ("kallsyms, x86: Export
addresses of PTI entry trampolines") to simplify the code and avoid
the warning.

Shouldn't this go through x86 as this sort of fixesss commit
bf904d2762ee ("x86/pti/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 entry trampoline")?

That works for me as well, as long as someone picks it up. It's
not really x86 any more though since that commit is five years
old and removed the last reference from the x86 code.

I sent it to you since you are the one that merged most of
the kallsyms patches through the module tree, but I guess
you are not actually maintaining that file (not blaming you,
I'd also try to stay away from kallsyms).

I can resend it to Andrew for the -mm tree.

OK, I just took the patch in, it's on the train, better get on before
it gets lost.

This change broke compilation of BPF selftests in modules-next
branch:

progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:62:13: error: no member named 'pos_arch_end' in
'struct kallsym_iter'
if (!iter->pos_arch_end || iter->pos_arch_end > iter->pos)
~~~~ ^
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:62:35: error: no member named 'pos_arch_end' in
'struct kallsym_iter'
if (!iter->pos_arch_end || iter->pos_arch_end > iter->pos)
~~~~ ^

I haven't looked into the proper fix for it yet.

This looks correct to me, but I'm still failing to cross-build
the selftests on my randconfig build setup, so I can't confirm that
this avoids the build failure, and I don't understand the code well
enough to be sure.

Thanks for the fix! The change above works ; maybe having
anything less than iter->pos_mod_end marked as a "CORE/MOD " symbol
might be worth tweaking, but that's a minor thing.

before:

CLNG-BPF [test_maps] bpf_iter_ksym.bpf.o
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:62:13: error: no member named 'pos_arch_end' in
'struct kallsym_iter'
if (!iter->pos_arch_end || iter->pos_arch_end > iter->pos)
~~~~ ^
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:62:35: error: no member named 'pos_arch_end' in
'struct kallsym_iter'
if (!iter->pos_arch_end || iter->pos_arch_end > iter->pos)
~~~~ ^
2 errors generated.

after the above is applied, bpf selftests build and iter ksym test
passes:

$ sudo ./test_progs -t bpf_iter
...
#12/37 bpf_iter/ksym:OK
...
Summary: 3/39 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Feel free to add a
