Since cmd_livepatch is only called for single-used-m, does this mean
that we can only klp-convert single object file livepatch modules?

I stumbled upon this when trying to create a self-test module that
incorporated two object files. I tried adding a $(call cmd_livepatch)
in the recipe for $(obj)/%.o, but that didn't help. My kbuild foo
wasn't good enough to figure this one out.

I looked at my original code and it is a bit different there. I placed it
under rule_cc_o_c right after objtool command. If I remember correctly
this is the correct recipe for .c->.o. Unfortunately I forgot the details
and there is of course nothing about it in my notes.

Does it help?

Joao, is there a reason you moved it elsewhere?

Hi,

Unfortunately I can't remember why the chunk was moved to where it is in
this version of the patch, sorry. Yet, I did try to move this into the
rule cc_o_c and it seemed to work with not damage.

Joe, would you kindly verify and squash properly the patch below, which
places cmd_livepatch in rule_cc_o_c?

Thank you.

Hi Joao,

This change seems to work okay for (again) single object modules, but I'm having issues with multi-object modules.


Hi Joe, thanks for the sources, this made everything much easier in my side :)

In the patch below I change a little bit the interface used to inform kbuild that a module is a livepatch. Instead of defining the flag LIVEPATCH_ per .o file, we define it per module (what actually makes much more sense). We later use $(basetarget) in the Makefile for checking the flags. By doing so, and invoking cmd_livepatch both from the $(single-used-m) and $(multi-used-m) we ensure that the .livepatch file is created for each module, what later in the pipeline flags the invocation of klp-convert.

I tested the following patch with the sources you provided (with little modifications, removing the .o from the LIVEPATCH_ definitions and using the module name instead of the object names), achieving successful compilation and conversion. I also tested against the sample livepatches, thus I think it might be ok now.

Do you think we can go this way to solve the problem in v3?
