Subject: [PATCH] libkmod-elf: resolve CRC if module is built with MODULE_REL_CRCS

Normally exported symbol's crc is stored as absolute (SHN_ABS)
value of special named symbol __crc_<symbol name>.

When the kernel and modules are built with the config option
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS, all the CRCs are put in a special section
and the __crc_<symbol name> symbols values are offsets in the
section. See patch description of the commit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=56067812d5b0e737ac2063e94a50f76b810d6ca3

Add kmod support of this configuration.

LGTM. I'll give this a try and apply. Do you think it's possible to
build an out-of-tree module with this option so we can add one to the
testsuite?

Thanks! I would also like to get some feedback from the kernel feature
author, Ard Biesheuvel, that this does not miss other usecases.

I'll check what I can do.

The problem is seen if you run depmod with -e -E, which I guess is not used
too often.

Hi all,

The patch looks correct to me. My only comment is that
kmod_elf_resolve_crc() should probably return a uint32_t instead,
given the size of a CRC32.

In any case,

Thanks,
Ard.

Well, it's a specific of the internal libkmod implementation. Both
struct kmod_modversion::crc and return value of elf_get_uint()
are uint64_t, but in the patch elf_get_uint() reads correct
sizeof(uint32_t) value from the ELF.
