    objtool: Add support for alternatives at the end of a section · 17bc3391
    Josh Poimboeuf authored
    
    
    Now that the previous patch gave objtool the ability to read retpoline
    alternatives, it shows a new warning:
    
      arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry_trampoline: don't know how to handle alternatives at end of section
    
    This is due to the JMP_NOSPEC in entry_SYSCALL_64_trampoline().
    
    Previously, objtool ignored this situation because it wasn't needed, and
    it would have required a bit of extra code.  Now that this case exists,
    add proper support for it.
