From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2018 17:58:15 -0600 Subject: objtool: Fix 32-bit build

From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com

commit 63474dc4ac7ed3848a4786b9592dd061901f606d upstream.

Fix the objtool build when cross-compiling a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit host. This also simplifies read_retpoline_hints() a bit and makes its implementation similar to most of the other annotation reading functions.
