This patch series stores module metadata in a .modinfo elf section and adds a utility to read it. For now the utility just prints the meta data. The plan is to store this in some file and have qemu read it.
Background is that the hard-coded lists in util/module.c are somewhat ugly and also wouldn't work very well with a large number of modules, so I'm looking for something else. Posting this now to collect feedback on the apprach. Should I continue this? Better ideas? Other comments & suggestions? take care, Gerd Gerd Hoffmann (9): Add module metadata macros, add qxl module annotations add qemu-modinfo utility virtio-gpu module annotations chardev module annotations audio module annotations usb-redir module annotations ccid module annotations ui module annotations s390x module annotations include/qemu/module.h | 18 ++++ audio/spiceaudio.c | 2 + chardev/baum.c | 1 + chardev/spice.c | 4 + hw/display/qxl.c | 4 + hw/display/vhost-user-gpu-pci.c | 1 + hw/display/vhost-user-gpu.c | 1 + hw/display/vhost-user-vga.c | 1 + hw/display/virtio-gpu-base.c | 1 + hw/display/virtio-gpu-gl.c | 3 + hw/display/virtio-gpu-pci-gl.c | 3 + hw/display/virtio-gpu-pci.c | 2 + hw/display/virtio-gpu.c | 1 + hw/display/virtio-vga-gl.c | 3 + hw/display/virtio-vga.c | 2 + hw/s390x/virtio-ccw-gpu.c | 3 + hw/usb/ccid-card-emulated.c | 1 + hw/usb/ccid-card-passthru.c | 1 + hw/usb/redirect.c | 1 + qemu-modinfo.c | 182 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ui/egl-headless.c | 4 + ui/gtk.c | 4 + ui/sdl2.c | 4 + ui/spice-app.c | 3 + ui/spice-core.c | 4 + meson.build | 3 + 26 files changed, 257 insertions(+) create mode 100644 qemu-modinfo.c -- 2.31.1
