kvm: fix objtool relocation warning
The recent change to make objtool aware of more symbol relocation types
(commit
24ff65257375: "objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more
relocation types") also added another check, and resulted in this
objtool warning when building kvm on x86:
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception
The reason seems to be that kvm_fastop_exception() is marked as a global
symbol, which causes the relocation to ke kept around for objtool. And
at the same time, the kvm_fastop_exception definition (which is done as
an inline asm statement) doesn't actually set the type of the global,
which then makes objtool unhappy.
The minimal fix is to just not mark kvm_fastop_exception as being a
global symbol. It's only used in that one compilation unit anyway, so
it was always pointless. That's how all the other local exception table
labels are done.
I'm not entirely happy about the kinds of games that the kvm code plays
with doing its own exception handling, and the fact that it confused
objtool is most definitely a symptom of the code being a bit too subtle
and ad-hoc. But at least this trivial one-liner makes objtool no longer
upset about what is going on.
