[RFC bpf-next 10/13] bpf: verifier: Add indirection to kallsyms_lookup_name()
From: Daniel Xu
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 23:37:16 EST
kallsyms_lookup_name() cannot be exported from the kernel for policy
reasons, so add this layer of indirection to allow the verifier to still
do kfunc and global variable relocations.
