[PATCH v4 18/21] x86/tools/relocs: Ignore __kcfi_typeid_ relocations

From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Tue Aug 30 2022 - 19:33:45 EST


The compiler generates __kcfi_typeid_ symbols for annotating assembly
functions with type information. These are constants that can be
referenced in assembly code and are resolved by the linker. Ignore
them in relocs.
