(continuing our discussion from another thread...)
I think tools code isn't allowed to include kernel files because the
tools subdirectory is supposed to be completely independent.
As far as I can tell, the section name will always be
".data.tbl.__jump_table.any". Is that true? If so, any reason why we
can't just hard-code the string here? As you saw, if the string
changes, objtool will complain and 0-day will report it.
