[RFC][PATCH 3/5] objtool: Add support for relocations without addends

From: Matt Helsley
Date: Mon May 11 2020 - 13:35:47 EST


Currently objtool only collects information about relocations with
addends. In recordmcount, which we are about to merge into objtool,
some supported architectures do not use rela relocations. Since
object files use one or the other the list can be reused.
