[PATCH] objtool: More annotation code generation tweaks

From: Josh Poimboeuf

Date: Wed Dec 03 2025 - 13:07:41 EST


Remove the superfluous section name quotes, and combine the longs into a
single command.

Before:

911: .pushsection ".discard.annotate_insn", "M", @progbits, 8; .long 911b - .; .long 2; .popsection

After:

911: .pushsection .discard.annotate_insn, "M", @progbits, 8; .long 911b - ., 2; .popsection
