I think GregKH pointed to one such tool, libabigail? We are working on

I should mention one of the others here:

It's quite comparable to libabigail in the way it works, the main

A runtime check is still done, with per-module vermagic which distros
can change when they bump the ABI version. Is it really necessary to
have more than that (i.e., per-symbol versioning)?
From my point of view, it is. We need to allow changing ABI for some
modules while maintaining it for oth
Hello,
That said, a dwarf based checker tool should be able to do as good a job
(maybe a bit better because report is very informative and it may pick up
compiler alignments or padding options).
So, Nicholas was kind enough to send me the two Linux Kernel binaries
