Subject: objtool/klp: Fix relocation conversion failures for R_X86_64_NONE
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3787e82a4e3a0a04aeb5543580ee90bed3a36e55;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

objtool/klp: Fix relocation conversion failures for R_X86_64_NONE

Objtool has some hacks which NOP out certain calls/jumps and replace
their relocations with R_X86_64_NONE.  The klp-diff relocation
extraction code will error out when trying to copy these relocations due
to their negative addend, which would only makes sense for a PC-relative
branch instruction.  Just ignore them.
