Subject: [PATCH 8/9] objtool: Skip magical retpoline .altinstr_replacement
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:16:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210312171653.832063970@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20210312171613.533405394@infradead.org
When the .altinstr_replacement is a retpoline, skip the alternative.
We already special case retpolines anyway.
