[RFC PATCH v3 03/12] objtool: Use target file class size instead of a compiled constant

From: Sathvika Vasireddy
Date: Fri Jun 24 2022 - 14:33:58 EST


From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

In order to allow using objtool on cross-built kernels,
determine size of long from elf data instead of using
sizeof(long) at build time.

For the time being this covers only mcount.
