[PATCH] modpost: Skip .llvm.call-graph-profile section check

From: Denis Nikitin
Date: Tue Aug 22 2023 - 02:54:19 EST


.llvm.call-graph-profile section is added when the kernel is built with
profiles (e.g. -fprofile-sample-use=<llvm.profile>). The section holds
metadata for symbols beloning to other sections and hence doesn't need
modpost checks.

This change fixes the kernel build with sample profiles which fails
with:
"FATAL: modpost: Please add code to calculate addend for this architecture"
