Subject: objtool: Remove reloc symbol type checks in get_alt_entry()
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4d8b35968bbf9e42b6b202eedb510e2c82ad8b38 upstream.
Converting a special section's relocation reference to a symbol is
straightforward. No need for objtool to complain that it doesn't know
how to handle it. Just handle it.
This fixes the following warning:
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception
Fixes: 24ff65257375 ("objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types")
