+
+In order to make the code more maintainable,
+move duplicated code to a common helper function.
+
+No functional change intended.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] elf2flt: fix fatal error regression on m68k and riscv64
+
+Commit ba379d08bb78 ("elf2flt: fix for segfault on some ARM ELFs")
+changed the condition of which input sections that should be included
+in the .text output section from:
+((a->flags & (SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY)) == (SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY))
+to:
+((a->flags & (SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY | SEC_RELOC)) ==
+(SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY | SEC_RELOC))
+
+On ARM, the .eh_frame input section does not have the SEC_RELOC flag
+set, so this specific change had no effect on ARM.
+
+However, on e.g. m68k and riscv64, the .eh_frame input section does
+have the SEC_RELOG flag set, which means that after commit ba379d08bb78
+("elf2flt: fix for segfault on some ARM ELFs"), read-only relocation
+data sections were placed in .text output section, instead of .data
+output section.
+
+This will result in a fatal error on m68k and riscv64:
+ERROR: text=0x3bab8 overlaps data=0x33f60 ?
+
+This is because elf2flt cannot append to .text after .data has been
+appended to.
+
+Note that the binutils maintainer says that the correct thing is
+to put read-only relocation data sections in .text:
+https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/binutils/2019-10/msg00132.html
+
+So the proper fix is probably to rewrite elf2flt so that it can append
+to .text after .data has been appended to (which will require elf2flt
+to move/relocate everything that has already been appended to .data,
+since the virtual addresses are contiguous).
+
+However, for now, add an exception for m68k and riscv64 (specifically
+for the problematic input section, .eh_frame), so that we get the same
+behavior as older elf2flt releases, where we put read-only relocation
+data in .data, which was working perfectly fine.

This adds another .eh_frame section handling patch. Without this patch, both m68k and riscv64 would result in a fatal error: ERROR: text=0x3bab8 overlaps data=0x33f60 ? With this patch, qemu_m68k_mcf5208_defconfig and qemu_riscv64_nommu_virt_defconfig both builds and boots properly.
