Title:
revert support for arbitrary symbol length in modversion in hwe
kernels
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in linux source package in Jammy:
Expired
Bug description:
The following patch may break user-space, providing an actual ABI
change:
UBUNTU: SAUCE: modpost: support arbitrary symbol length in
modversion
This is not critical for new releases (also considering that the
potential breakage is unlikely to happen, unless some
tools/scripts/apps are inspecting modules' internals - likely only
kmod tools, that are ok with this change), but for LTS releases it is
just safer to prevent adding this change.
Keep in mind that this patch is required to enable Rust support in the
generic kernel, but it is not required for hwe kernels, because we do
not enable Rust support for them.
