[PATCH v5 19/22] x86/tools/relocs: Ignore __kcfi_typeid_ relocations

From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>
Date: 2022-09-08 21:57:45
Also in: linux-hardening, lkml, llvm
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

The compiler generates __kcfi_typeid_ symbols for annotating assembly
functions with type information. These are constants that can be
referenced in assembly code and are resolved by the linker. Ignore
them in relocs.
