[PATCH] init, allow blacklisting of module_init functions

Show all headers | View raw

At some point I was 100% sure this worked.  I do remember testing it against
just a loadable module and had positive testing results.  I went back to
the time that it was commited (3.15-ish) and blacklisting a module init
function didn't work there either, so something went wrong somewhere.  In
any case this is a trivial patch to add the functionality...

P.

---8<---

sprint_symbol_no_offset() returns the string "function_name [module_name]"
where [module_name] is not printed for built in kernel functions.  This
means that the blacklisting code will fail when comparing module function
names with the extended string.  This patch adds the functionality to
block a module's module_init() function by finding the space in the string
and truncating the comparison to that length.
