[PATCH] objtool: use sh_info to find the base for .rela sections
From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Tue Apr 21 2020 - 14:25:07 EST
ELF doesn't require .rela section names to match the base section. Use
the section index in sh_info to find the section instead of looking it
up by name.
LLD, for example, generates a .rela section that doesn't match the base
section name when we merge sections in a linker script for a binary
compiled with -ffunction-sections.
