I guess it is loosely based on 4acda8edefa1 ("scripts/sorttable: Get start/stop_mcount_loc from ELF file directly"), which may take a bit of work to backport (or we just add everything that this commit depends on).
And looking at what was done, it was my rewrite of the sorttable.c code.
If it's OK to backport a rewrite, then we could just do that.
See commits:
4f48a28b37d5 scripts/sorttable: Remove unused write functions 7ffc0d0819f4 scripts/sorttable: Make compare_extable() into two functions 157fb5b3cfd2 scripts/sorttable: Convert Elf_Ehdr to union 545f6cf8f4c9 scripts/sorttable: Replace Elf_Shdr Macro with a union 200d015e73b4 scripts/sorttable: Convert Elf_Sym MACRO over to a union 1dfb59a228dd scripts/sorttable: Add helper functions for Elf_Ehdr 67afb7f50440 scripts/sorttable: Add helper functions for Elf_Shdr 17bed33ac12f scripts/sorttable: Add helper functions for Elf_Sym 58d87678a0f4 scripts/sorttable: Move code from sorttable.h into sorttable.c
Backport away!
Actually, I only did a git log on scripts/sorttable.c. I left out sorttable.h which gives me this list:
