Hi,

objtool is yielding the obscure libelf warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: elf_update: invalid section entry size

Which I tracked down to section:

  [3023] .rodata.cst164    PROGBITS        0000000000000000 1ab501e0 000154 a4  AM  0   0 16

Which has a section size of 0x154 (340) and an entry size of 0xa4 (164).
An obvious mis-match.

From there, git-grep quickly yields:

  arch/x86/crypto/sm4-aesni-avx-asm_64.S:.section .rodata.cst164, "aM", @progbits, 164
  arch/x86/crypto/sm4-aesni-avx2-asm_64.S:.section        .rodata.cst164, "aM", @progbits, 164

So those files create this .rodata section with an explicit entry size,
but then don't respect it themselves. Removing the entry size makes the
warning go away, but I can't tell if that's right or not, given there is
zero clue as to why that entry size was specified to begin with.

Please explain...
