From b0fb9784cf803472bbdcd3d98364c27966fee679 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2022 09:00:45 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: skip non-text sections when adding return-thunk sites The .discard.text section is added in order to reserve BRK, with a temporary function just so it can give it a size. This adds a relocation to the return thunk, which objtool will add to the .return_sites section. Linking will then fail as there are references to the .discard.text section. Do not add instructions from non-text sections to the list of return thunk calls, avoiding the reference to .discard.text.
