Subject: x86/kvm: Move kvm_fastop_exception to .fixup section
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Git-commit: f26e60167d8b5b1c67b3efd4cb5672da446bdb0e
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc4
References: bnc#1058115
When compiling the kernel with the '-frecord-gcc-switches' flag, objtool
complains:
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: .GCC.command.line+0x0: special: can't find new instruction
And also the kernel fails to link.
The problem is that the 'kvm_fastop_exception' code gets placed into the
throwaway '.GCC.command.line' section instead of '.text'.
Exception fixup code is conventionally placed in the '.fixup' section,
so put it there where it belongs.
