Re: [PATCH] x86: Treat relocation against IFUNC symbol as FUNC

Actually - thinking about it further ... why should it matter that it is a
note section that is being relocated ? Surely the same logic should apply
to any ifunc-targeted relocation in a non-alloc section. For example, I
wonder if your patch would actually work for debug sections as well ?
(Rather than the current option of just silently ignoring the reloc).
