Subject: [PATCH] aarch64: Recognize SHT_AARCH64_ATTRIBUTES
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:32:26 +0100   [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224213226.3212482-1-mark@klomp.org> (raw)

Recognize SHT_AARCH64_ATTRIBUTES. This is enough to stop elflint
complaining about unknown section types. But doesn't implement parsing
the attributes.

        * backends/aarch64_symbol.c (aarch64_section_type_name):
        New function.
        * backends/aarch64_init.c (aarch64_init): Hook
        section_type_name.

Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://inbox.sourceware.org/elfutils-devel/20260224213226.3212482-1-mark@klomp.org/]
