Yeah this is a real issue outside of CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, Rust modules is another example where instead of symbol names they want to use full hashes. So, as I hinted to you Sami, can we knock two birds with one stone here and move CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to use the same strategy as Rust so we have two users instead of just one? Then we resolve this. In fact what I suggested was even to allow even non-Rust, and in this case even with gcc to enable this world. This gives much more wider scope of testing / review / impact of these sorts of changes and world view and it would resolve the Rust case, the live patch CONFIG_LTO_CLANG world too. Thoughts? Luis
