Sparse reported warnings about non-static symbols. For the variables a simple static attribute is fine - for those symbols referenced by livepatch via klp_func the symbol-names must be unmodified in the symbol table - to resolve this the __noclone attribute is used for the shared statically declared functions.
Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hof...@osadl.org> Suggested-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawre...@redhat.com> Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/13/827 --- V2: not all static functions shared need to carry the __noclone attribute only those that need to be resolved at runtime by livepatch - so drop the unnecessary __noclone attributes as well as the Note on __noclone as suggested by Joe Lawrence <joe.lawre...@redhat.com> - thanks !
