Hi Josh,

Thanks for your review and reply.

Yes, I just copied and pasted the warning message, so I brought a question mark.

I will modify the description and add the fixes tag which introduced the issue, then will send the v2 soon.

Fix the following sparse warning:

kernel/livepatch/core.c:748:5: warning: symbol 'klp_apply_object_relocs'
was not declared. Should it be static?

Yes, it should :-)

So instead of the question, the patch description should probably state
that it should be static because its only caller is in the file.

... and it probably should also have a Fixes tag which references the
commit which introduced this issue.

With that change:
