create-diff-object: Add support for CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With IBT enabled, objtool runs on the final linked vmlinux.o object
instead of the individual translation units, creating the __pfx symbols
at the end.  But create-diff-object still runs on the individual .o
objects, in which case the __pfx symbols may be missing.  Manually
detect function padding for that case.

With this change, it should be fine [*] to patch a kernel with
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT enabled.

[*] Unless your patch adds an indirect call to an existing function
    which doesn't have any other indirect callers, in which case the
    callee might have been sealed, which will trigger a "Missing ENDBR"
    warning/panic.
