From c5c3439af0f9c08e253d2a703a7eb3deba7d8591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Quentin Casasnovas Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 13:16:41 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] modpost: do not try to match the SHT_NUL section. Trying to match the SHT_NUL section isn't useful and causes build failures on parisc and mn10300 since the addition of section strict white-listing and __ex_table sanitizing. Signed-off-by: Quentin Casasnovas Reported-by: Guenter Roeck Fixes: 050e57fd5936 ("modpost: add strict white-listing when referencing....") Fixes: 52dc0595d540 ("modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table.")
