[RFC PATCH v3 3/4] arm64: Handle miscellaneous functions in .text and .init.text

[madvenka]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There are some SYM_CODE functions that are currently in ".text" or
".init.text" sections. Some of these are functions that the unwinder
does not care about as they are not "interesting" to livepatch. These
will remain in their current sections. The rest I have moved into a
new section called ".code.text".

Include .code.text in sym_code_ranges[] so the unwinder can check it.

I have listed the names of the functions along with the name of their
existing section.

Don't care functions
====================

	efi-entry.S:
		efi_enter_kernel		.init.text

	relocate_kernel.S:
		arm64_relocate_new_kernel	.text

	sigreturn.S:
		__kernel_rt_sigreturn		.text

	arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/hyp-entry.S:
		el2t_sync_invalid		.text
		el2t_irq_invalid		.text
		el2t_fiq_invalid		.text
		el2t_error_invalid		.text
		el2h_irq_invalid		.text
		el2h_fiq_invalid		.text
		el1_fiq_invalid			.text
		__kvm_hyp_vector		.text
		__bp_harden_hyp_vecs		.text

	arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/host.S:
		__kvm_hyp_host_vector		.text
		__kvm_hyp_host_forward_smc	.text

Rest of the functions (moved to .code.text)
=====================

	entry.S:
		__swpan_entry_el1		.text
		__swpan_exit_el1		.text
		__swpan_entry_el0		.text
		__swpan_exit_el0		.text
		ret_from_fork			.text
		__sdei_asm_handler		.text

	head.S:
		primary_entry			.init.text
		preserve_boot_args		.init.text

	entry-ftrace.S:
		ftrace_regs_caller		.text
		ftrace_caller			.text
		ftrace_common			.text
		ftrace_graph_caller		.text
		return_to_handler		.text

	kprobes_trampoline.S:
		kretprobe_trampoline		.text
