[PATCH v2 0/3] Build ORC fast lookup table in scripts/sorttable tool

From: Huaixin Chang
Date: Fri Aug 07 2020 - 00:18:31 EST


Move building of fast lookup table from boot to sorttable tool. This saves us
6380us boot time on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2682 v4 @ 2.50GHz with cores. It
adds a little more than 7ms to boot time when testing on the same CPU.

Changelog v2:
1. Write .orc_lookup section header via objtool
2. Move two ORC lookup table macro from orc_lookup.h into orc_types.h
3. Spell 'ORC' in capitalized fashion

Huaixin Chang (3):
objtool: Write .orc_lookup section header
scripts/sorttable: Build ORC fast lookup table via sorttable tool
x86/unwind/orc: Simplify unwind_init() for x86 boot
