kvm: fix objtool relocation warning
The recent change to make objtool aware of more symbol relocation types (commit24ff652573
: "objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types") also added another check, and resulted in this objtool warning when building kvm on x86: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception The reason seems to be that kvm_fastop_exception() is marked as a global symbol, which causes the relocation to ke kept around for objtool. And at the same time, the kvm_fastop_exception definition (which is done as an inline asm statement) doesn't actually set the type of the global, which then makes objtool unhappy. The minimal fix is to just not mark kvm_fastop_exception as being a global symbol. It's only used in that one compilation unit anyway, so it was always pointless. That's how all the other local exception table labels are done. I'm not entirely happy about the kinds of games that the kvm code plays with doing its own exception handling, and the fact that it confused objtool is most definitely a symptom of the code being a bit too subtle and ad-hoc. But at least this trivial one-liner makes objtool no longer upset about what is going on. Fixes:24ff652573
