From a26a6c93edfeee82cb73f55e87d995eea59ddfe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 15:30:27 -0700 Subject: kbuild: Strip trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo After commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"), running modules_install with certain versions of kmod (such as 29.1 in Ubuntu Jammy) in certain configurations may fail with: depmod: ERROR: kmod_builtin_iter_next: unexpected string without modname prefix The additional padding bytes to ensure .modinfo is aligned within vmlinux.unstripped are unexpected by kmod, as this section has always just been null-terminated strings. Strip the trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo after it has been extracted from vmlinux.unstripped to restore the format that kmod expects while keeping .modinfo aligned within vmlinux.unstripped to avoid regressing the Authenticode calculation fix for EDK2.

However kernel-doc.py is currently called with python3 hard-coded and thus ignores this setting. Use $(PYTHON3) to run $(KERNELDOC) so that the desired version of python is used.
