Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/11] modpost: Support >64K sections
According to the ELF specification, if the value of st_shndx
contains SH_XINDEX, the actual section header index is too
large to fit in the st_shndx field and you should use the
value out of the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section instead. This table
was already being parsed and saved into symtab_shndx_start, however
it was not being used, causing segfaults when the number of
sections is greater than 64K. Check the st_shndx field for
SHN_XINDEX prior to using.
