    scripts/sorttable: Unify arm64 & x86 sort functions · e232333b
    Mark Rutland authored
    The format of the arm64 and x86 exception table entries is essentially
    the same as of commits:
    
      46d28947 ("x86/extable: Rework the exception table mechanics")
      d6e2cc56 ("arm64: extable: add `type` and `data` fields")
    
    Both use a 12-byte entry consisting of two 32-bit relative offsets and
    32 bits of (absolute) data, and their sort functions are identical aside
    from commentary, with arm64 saying:
    
       /* Don't touch the fixup type or data */
    
    ... and x86 saying:
    
      /* Don't touch the fixup type */
    
    Unify the two behind a common sort_relative_table_with_data() function,
    retaining the arm64 commentary.
    
    There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
