Subject: [RFC PATCH 9/9] arm64: ftrace: Simplify PLT handling
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 15:53:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822135323.795946-20-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260822135323.795946-11-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Instead of emitting the ftrace trampoline PLT into a separate ELF
section, allocate them at the start of the ordinary PLT array, so
that no special sections are needed.
