[PATCH] fix compilation of 64-bit kernel with 32-bit compiler
From: Mikulas Patocka
Date: Thu Mar 08 2018 - 01:11:35 EST
The patch b5bc2231b8ad4387c9641f235ca0ad8cd300b6df ("objtool: Add
retpoline validation") broke compiling 64-bit kernel with 32-bit compiler.
This patch fixes the following error and a large number of "can't find
rela for retpoline_safe" errors that occur when using x32 or i386 gcc.
You shouldn't use the type 'unsigned long' in objtool at all - because its
size depends on the compiler and not on the kernel you are compiling.
In file included from check.c:26:0:
check.c: In function 'read_retpoline_hints':
