Using GCC version 10.0.1, exactly:
gcc version 10.0.1 20200411 (experimental) [master revision bb87d5cc77d:75961caccb7:f883c46b4877f637e0fa5025b4d6b5c9040ec566] (Ubuntu 10-20200411-0ubuntu1)
Kernel:
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.7.0-g4 (root@oi3) (gcc version 10.0.1 20200411 (experimental) [master revision bb87d5cc77d:75961caccb7:f883c46b4877f637e0fa5025b4d6b5c9040ec566] (Ubuntu 10-20200411-0ubuntu1), GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.34) #28 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 12 18:09:14 UTC 2020
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$ cat /proc/kallsyms |grep lookup_fast|head -1
0000000000000000 t lookup_fast
$
However, as I mentioned in my previous emails, I need to discuss and research
more in details if adding such non-standard kernel configuration / compilation
support makes sense from LKRG perspective. Maybe it does, maybe not.
Thanks,
Adam
