SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/3] scripts/sorttable: Change section type of orc_lookup to SHT_PROGBITS
From
Date
Hi, Ingo

Another way to write SHT_PROGBITS is using elf_create_section to write orc_lookup table headers, when orc_unwind_ip table and orc_unwind table are written. Is this a better solution?

diff --git a/tools/objtool/orc_gen.c b/tools/objtool/orc_gen.c
index 3f98dcfbc177..860d4dcec8e6 100644
--- a/tools/objtool/orc_gen.c
+++ b/tools/objtool/orc_gen.c
@@ -183,6 +183,10 @@ int create_orc_sections(struct objtool_file *file)
u_sec = elf_create_section(file->elf, ".orc_unwind",
sizeof(struct orc_entry), idx);

+ /* make flags of section orc_lookup right */
+ if (!elf_create_section(file->elf, ".orc_lookup", sizeof(int), 0))
+ return -1;
+
/* populate sections */
idx = 0;
for_each_sec(file, sec) {
Thanks,
Huaixin
