[PATCH v2 47/62] x86/orc: Define ELF section entry size for unwind hints
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri May 09 2025 - 16:26:53 EST
In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, define the entry
size for the discard.unwind_hints section in its ELF header. This will
allow tooling to extract individual entries.
