+Subject: objtool: Don't fail on missing symbol table
+
+From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>
+
+commit 1d489151e9f9d1647110277ff77282fe4d96d09b upstream.
+
+Thanks to a recent binutils change which doesn't generate unused
+symbols, it's now possible for thunk_64.o be completely empty without
+CONFIG_PREEMPTION: no text, no data, no symbols.
+
+We could edit the Makefile to only build that file when
+CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, but that will likely create confusion
+if/when the thunks end up getting used by some other code again.
+
+Just ignore it and move on.
