[RFC PATCH v3 04/20] cfi: Drop __CFI_ADDRESSABLE

From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Fri Jun 10 2022 - 19:35:50 EST


The __CFI_ADDRESSABLE macro is used for init_module and cleanup_module
to ensure we have the address of the CFI jump table, and with
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT to ensure LTO won't optimize away the symbols.
As __CFI_ADDRESSABLE is no longer necessary with -fsanitize=kcfi, add
a more flexible version of the __ADDRESSABLE macro and always ensure
these symbols won't be dropped.
