From 5c4b234c44cbd860a89f0143d8ec9767aba61c2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Tolvanen Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 14:54:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Preserve special st_shndx indexes in elf_update_symbol [ Upstream commit 5141d3a06b2da1731ac82091298b766a1f95d3d8 ] elf_update_symbol fails to preserve the special st_shndx values between [SHN_LORESERVE, SHN_HIRESERVE], which results in it converting SHN_ABS entries into SHN_UNDEF, for example. Explicitly check for the special indexes and ensure these symbols are not marked undefined.
