If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 44f6a7c0755d8dd453c70557e11687bb080a6f21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 16:04:20 -0600 Subject: objtool: Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 44f6a7c0755d8dd453c70557e11687bb080a6f21 upstream. The Clang assembler likes to strip section symbols, which means objtool can't reference some text code by its section. This confuses objtool greatly, causing it to seg fault. The fix is similar to what was done before, for ORC reloc generation: e81e07244325 ("objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols in ORC generation") Factor out that code into a common helper and use it for static call reloc generation as well.
