Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 5/8] objtool: reduce memory usage of struct reloc

Hi, Thomas:

In /usr/include/elf.h has:

#define ELF32_R_TYPE(val)		((val) & 0xff)
#define ELF64_R_TYPE(i)			((i) & 0xffffffff)
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^

So, I still feel that keeping 'unsigned int' is a good option. Can we just
use __attribute__((packed)) for wasted padding bytes?
