[RFC PATCH 13/12] Retpoline vs. CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_SYMBOLS

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Sat Jan 06 2018 - 19:11:12 EST


Arjan pointed out that CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_SYMBOLS *really* doesn't like
the dot in the symbols that GCC uses for the thunks.

This seems to work, although my eyes are bleeding just a little bit.

Given this, and the hack we already needed for MODVERSIONS, I wonder if
a better approach might be to export the thunks using underscores in
place of the dots, which is a relatively simple abuse of
__EXPORT_SYMBOL(__x86_indirect_thunk_foo,__x86.indirect_thunk.foo,),
and then have a hack either when generating or loading modules to do
the same replacement.
