x86/boot: Ignore relocations in .notes sections in walk_relocs() too
[ Upstream commit 76e9762d66373354b45c33b60e9a53ef2a3c5ff2 ] Commit: aaa8736370db ("x86, relocs: Ignore relocations in .notes section") ... only started ignoring the .notes sections in print_absolute_relocs(), but the same logic should also by applied in walk_relocs() to avoid such relocations. [ mingo: Fixed various typos in the changelog, removed extra curly braces from the code. ] Fixes: aaa8736370db ("x86, relocs: Ignore relocations in .notes section") Fixes: 5ead97c84fa7 ("xen: Core Xen implementation") Fixes: da1a679cde9b ("Add /sys/kernel/notes") Signed-off-by: Guixiong Wei <weiguixiong@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240317150547.24910-1-weiguixiong@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
