[PATCH v2 1/6] extable: add support for relative extables to search and sort routines

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Tue Jan 05 2016 - 10:20:11 EST


This adds support to the generic search_extable() and sort_extable()
implementations for dealing with exception table entries whose fields
contain relative offsets rather than absolute addresses.
