Nothing until now built real kCFI code.This tests the behavior of commit da4326573ae8 ("objtool/klp: Fix kCFI traphandling"). Commit f7ceffd21a8a ("objtool/klp: Fix kCFI prefixfinding/cloning") cannot be tested as such, its code having been rewrittenby commit fe6a87e0abac ("objtool: Improve and simplify prefix symboldetection"); this guards the current implementation's behaviour instead.Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4Based-on-test-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com>Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5Signed-off-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260916184351.2720310-42-song@kernel.org List of files: /linux/tools/objtool/tests/x86/fixtures/kcfi.c Wed, 16 Sep 2026 20:43:34 +0200 Song Liu <song@kernel.org>
