[PATCH v3 30/39] x86/ibt: Ensure module init/exit points have references

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Mar 03 2022 - 06:31:06 EST


Since the references to the module init/exit points only have external
references, a module LTO run will consider them 'unused' and seal
them, leading to an immediate fail on module load.
