[PATCH 4.14 002/159] objtool: Dont report end of section error after an empty unwind hint

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 05:02:54 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 00d96180dc38ef872ac471c2d3e14b067cbd895d upstream.

If asm code specifies an UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY hint, don't warn if the
section ends unexpectedly. This can happen with the xen-head.S code
because the hypercall_page is "text" but it's all zeros.
