You can post it here, but please add the maintainers to the CC list, so
that we can more quickly see your message.

Please try to follow kernel coding style in these tools, i.e. the &&
should be at the end, the expression on each line should be aligned just
after the opening parens.
If, like in this case, you find something not following that style, take
the opportunity to fix it :-)
But back to your change, I'll have to look at this code further, just
looking at the excerpt above I find it way too confusing, and your patch
makes it even more so...
Can you introduce some suitably named helper that has those extra
conditions you're adding now and then add it to this conditional?
I.e. make it somethine like:
- if ((used_opd && runtime_ss->adjust_symbols)
- || (!used_opd && syms_ss->adjust_symbols)) {
+ if ((used_opd && runtime_ss->adjust_symbols) ||
+ (!used_opd && syms_ss->adjust_symbols) ||
+ syms__some_suitable_name(syms_ss, &shdr)) {
And then add your explanation of these kinds of files as a comment over
this new function, please?
