Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 533197
kvm kmod package should filter only some specific ksym dependencies
Last modified: 2013-01-09 17:00:02 EST
We need to remove this from the kvm spec file: #FIXME: hack to ignore the ksym() requires because we don't have the # symbols on the whitelist yet (bz#466961) %define _use_internal_dependency_generator 0 %define __find_requires sh -c '/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires "$@" | %grep -v "ksym("' This can be done now that the required symbols were added to the whitelist (see bug #466961).
Actually, the ksym dependencies should never appear on the KVM package, as we can only have dependencies on the kernel(*_ga) kernel package provides, that include only the whitelisted symbols. We still need to filter some 'ksym(*)' dependencies that were not approved on the RHEL-5.4 whitelist, but we need to filter for the known entries, not all ksym dependencies. The list of ksym dependencies has grown since bug #466961 has been filed, and we didn't notice because all ksym dependencies were being filtered. We need to change the current workaround to filter only known entries, not all ksym entries.
This is the list of ksym dependencies that will be filtered: # requested on bz#533401: # ----------------------- # introduced on 2.6.18-148.el5: ksym(iommu_attach_device) = afe845e8 ksym(iommu_detach_device) = 4fc56cce ksym(iommu_domain_alloc) = 2eed2630 ksym(iommu_domain_free) = f4a8385f ksym(iommu_found) = 20d22764 # introduced on 2.6.18-148.el5, with a different hash (3752c400). # ABI changed to a5cbe1 on 2.6.18-149 ksym(iommu_iova_to_phys) = a5cbe1 # introduced on 2.6.18-148.el5, with a different hash (e0609a70) # hash changed to 1381a048 on 2.6.18-149 ksym(iommu_map_range) = 1381a048 # introduced on 2.6.18-148.el5: ksym(iommu_unmap_range) = 942a41f4 # introduced on 2.6.18-140.el5: ksym(mmu_notifier_register) = 63b0946c ksym(mmu_notifier_unregister) = a049a030 # introduced on 2.6.18-159.el5: ksym(pci_reset_function) = 3b361139 # introduced a long time ago (2.6.18-53.el5, it seems): ksym(tsc_khz) = 39e53c0d # introduced a long time ago (older than 2.6.18-2.el5): ksym(__dec_zone_page_state) = 8c99ac68 ksym(__inc_zone_page_state) = aeb8ed58 ksym(do_mm_track_pte) = ddcc15b8 ksym(mm_tracking_struct) = 61af69bd # rejected (bz#466961), but needed by KVM: # ---------------------------------------- # introduced on 2.6.18-115.el5: ksym(preempt_notifier_register) = 1efa9a60 ksym(preempt_notifier_unregister) = d5fd504f # introduced on 2.6.18-113.el5: ksym(marker_probe_cb) = 6f9c2efe ksym(marker_probe_register) = 7da8d037 ksym(marker_probe_unregister) = d027a07d ksym(__mark_empty_function) = fecbff96
