Hi Christophe,
Interesting failure mode. That's klp-convert complaining that it found
more relocations in a .klp.module_relocs.<objname> section than
expected, i.e. nr_entries = sec->size / sizeof(struct klp_module_reloc).
A few possibilities: the ELF sec->size was incorrectly set/read by
build/libelf (I doubt that). Or maybe the layout/size of struct
klp_module_reloc is not consistent between kernel and userspace (I'm
more suspicious of this).
Can you post a copy of the build's symbols.klp and
lib/livepatch/test_klp_convert1.tmp.ko somewhere? I should be able to
start debug with those files.
Thanks,
--
Joe
