** Description changed: SRU Justification: [Impact] * The following patches removed an exported symbol that will cause potential disruption and breakage for customers modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules: return licensing information from find_symbol modules: rename the licence field in struct symsearch to license modules: unexport __module_address modules: unexport __module_text_address modules: mark each_symbol_section static modules: mark find_symbol static modules: mark ref_module static [Fix] * Temporarily revert as SAUCE patches to allow customers time to make necessary changes to support eventual patch changes. [Test Plan] - * none + * Check symbols on running kernel + sudo grep -e ' ref_module' -e ' find_symbol' -e ' each_symbol_section$' -e ' __module_address' -e ' __module_text_address' /proc/kallsyms + + * Check symbols on all installed kernels + sudo grep -e ' ref_module' -e ' find_symbol' -e ' each_symbol_section$' -e ' __module_address' -e ' __module_text_address' /boot/System.map-* [Where problems could occur] * The new functionality provided by patches will be removed, since we aren't removing existing functionality the risk should be low.
