nm can use "R" or "r" to show read-only data sections, but
scripts/is_rust_module.sh can only recognize "r", so with some versions
of binutils it can fail to detect if a module is a Rust module or not.
Right now we're using this script only to determine if we need to skip
BTF generation (that is disabled globally if CONFIG_RUST is enabled),
but it's still nice to fix this script to do the proper job.
Moreover, with this patch applied I can also relax the constraint of
"RUST depends on !DEBUG_INFO_BTF" and build a kernel with Rust and BTF
enabled at the same time (of course BTF generation is still skipped for
Rust modules).
[ Miguel: The actual reason is likely to be a change on the Rust
compiler between 1.61.0 and 1.62.0:
echo '#[used] static S: () = ();' |
rustup run 1.61.0 rustc --emit=obj --crate-type=lib - &&
nm rust_out.o
echo '#[used] static S: () = ();' |
rustup run 1.62.0 rustc --emit=obj --crate-type=lib - &&
nm rust_out.o
Gives:
0000000000000000 r _ZN8rust_out1S17h48027ce0da975467E
0000000000000000 R _ZN8rust_out1S17h58e1f3d9c0e97cefE

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
