# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
# objdiff - a small script for validating that a commit or series of commits
# didn't change object code.

# Copyright 2014, Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net>
#
# usage example:
#
# $ git checkout COMMIT_A
# $ <your fancy build command here>
# $ ./scripts/objdiff record path/to/*.o
#
# $ git checkout COMMIT_B
# $ <your fancy build command here>
# $ ./scripts/objdiff record path/to/*.o
#
# $ ./scripts/objdiff diff COMMIT_A COMMIT_B
# $
# And to clean up (everything is in .objdiff/*)
# $ ./scripts/objdiff clean all
#
# Note: 'make mrproper' will also remove .objdiff

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / scripts.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
