David Daney	d59a16836d	scripts/sortextable: Handle relative entries, and other cleanups ... x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its exception table, so we add a sorter for these. If there are relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid and consistent. Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h Signed-off-by: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1335291795-26693-2-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com Signed-off-by: H.

David Daney	a79f248b9b	scripts: Add sortextable to sort the kernel's exception table. ... Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn cycles sorting the exception table.
