[PATCH] ARM: module: Add ".ref.text" to arm unwind tables

[Vignesh Radhakrishnan]

Functions inside kernel modules that use __ref
will end up being placed in .ARM.exidx.ref.text
section by gcc.

Currently we don't consider adding these functions
to arm unwind tables.

Hence, if we turn slub debug on by default we end up
with the messages of this sort:

unwind: Index not found bf0011e0

This is because slub debug saves stack trace of
allocation's and free's. Therefore, we end up seeing
a flood of these messages in dmesg since its not
able to locate these functions.

Fix this by adding .ref.text section to arm unwind tables.
