Hi Jim,

Thanks a lot for this v3!

Le 02/04/2025 à 19:41, Jim Cromie a écrit :
commit 1d926e259d8f ("vmlinux.lds.h: add HEADERED_SECTION_* macros")

I flubbed the defn of the outer 2 macros; they missed the extra arg
needed: _front/_hdr. Fix it now, before anyone notices.

I don't see any usage of this change in the series. Is it related to it? If no, can you make this a separate series, it is already difficult to review the dyndbg part without unrelated noise?
