Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 11:25:35 -0500 From: Sasha Levin <sashal@...nel.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org Cc: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@...gle.com>, Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@...ionext.com>, Sasha Levin <sashal@...nel.org>, linux-kbuild@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 3.18 13/61] modpost: validate symbol names also in find_elf_symbol From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@...gle.com> [ Upstream commit 5818c683a619c534c113e1f66d24f636defc29bc ] If an ARM mapping symbol shares an address with a valid symbol, find_elf_symbol can currently return the mapping symbol instead, as the symbol is not validated. This can result in confusing warnings: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x18f4028): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_reset_devices() to the variable .init.text:$x.0 This change adds a call to is_valid_name to find_elf_symbol, similarly to how it's already used in find_elf_symbol2.
