Subject: [PATCH v2 11/14] objtool: Add elf_create_undef_symbol()
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 18:11:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210318171920.068888092@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20210318171103.577093939@infradead.org
Allow objtool to create undefined symbols; this allows creating
relocations to symbols not currently in the symbol table.
