Hi,

in 5.10 kernels up to and including 5.10.15 when trying to build the
kernel for an x86_64 skylake using binutils-2.36.1, gcc-10.2 and
glibic-2.33 I get a segfault in objtool if the orc unwinder is
enabled.

This has already been fixed in 5.11 by ''objtool: Fix seg fault with
Clang non-section symbols'
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/patch/?id=44f6a7c0755d8dd453c70557e11687bb080a6f21

So can this be added to 5.10 stable, please ?

Please CC me as I am no-longer subscribed.

Hi Ken,

I agree that needs to be backported (and my bad for not marking it as
stable to begin with).

Greg, this also came up in another thread, are you pulling that one in,
or do you want me to send it to stable list?
