Subject: [PATCH 0/2] objtool: Fix code reloc vs weak symbols
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2022 22:32:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220419203254.034493341@infradead.org> (raw)

Two fun bugs that make can cause other fun fail if you have a fresh enough
toolchain that strips unused section symbols.

The symptoms can vary between a faulty unwind to a kernel splat for trying to
patch the wrong text.

I found it while playing with text patching and Josh confirmed it very much
affects ORC data too.
