Re: [PATCH v4 00/10] klp-convert livepatch build tooling

Hi Joe,

first, I'm sorry for the lack of response so far.

Maybe you've already noticed but the selftests fail. Well, at least in

It crashes right in test_klp_convert_init() when print_*() using 
supposed-to-be-converted symbols are called. I'll debug it next week. Can 
you reproduce it too?

PS: it is probably not a coincidence that I come across selftests failures 
right before I leave for a holiday...
