[RFC PATCH v6 18/34] dyndbg: prevent build bugs via -DNO_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Sat May 29 2021 - 16:03:02 EST


The next patch adds DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE(), which broke several
subtrees, including efi, vdso, and some of arch/*/boot/compressed,
with various relocation errors, iirc.

Avoid those problems by adding a define to suppress the "transparent"
DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE() invocation. I found the x86 problems
myself, lkp@xxxxxxxxx found arm & sparc problems, and may yet find
others.
