Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_console: eliminate anonymous module_init & module_exit Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs, or an initcall_debug log. Give each of these init and exit functions unique driver-specific names to eliminate the anonymous names. Example 1: (System.map) ffffffff832fc78c t init ffffffff832fc79e t init ffffffff832fc8f8 t init Example 2: (initcall_debug log) calling init+0x0/0x12 @ 1 initcall init+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 15 usecs calling init+0x0/0x60 @ 1 initcall init+0x0/0x60 returned 0 after 2 usecs calling init+0x0/0x9a @ 1 initcall init+0x0/0x9a returned 0 after 74 usecs
