From f26e60167d8b5b1c67b3efd4cb5672da446bdb0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2017 10:39:05 -0500 Subject: x86/kvm: Move kvm_fastop_exception to .fixup section MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When compiling the kernel with the '-frecord-gcc-switches' flag, objtool complains: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: .GCC.command.line+0x0: special: can't find new instruction And also the kernel fails to link. The problem is that the 'kvm_fastop_exception' code gets placed into the throwaway '.GCC.command.line' section instead of '.text'. Exception fixup code is conventionally placed in the '.fixup' section, so put it there where it belongs.
