Subject: [GIT PULL] objtool fixes
Linus,

# HEAD: c2bb9e32e2315971a8535fee77335c04a739d71d objtool: Fix Makefile to properly see if libelf is supported
A handful of objtool fixes: two improvements to how warnings are printed plus a
false positive warning fix, and build environment fix.
Thanks,
Ingo

Errors in .c files
------------------
-If you're getting an objtool error in a compiled .c file, chances are
-the file uses an asm() statement which has a "call" instruction. An
-asm() statement with a call instruction must declare the use of the
-stack pointer in its output operand. For example, on x86_64:
+1. c_file.o: warning: objtool: funcA() falls through to next function funcB()
- register void *__sp asm("rsp");
- asm volatile("call func" : "+r" (__sp));
+ This means that funcA() doesn't end with a return instruction or an
+ unconditional jump, and that objtool has determined that the function
+ can fall through into the next function. There could be different
+ reasons for this:
-Otherwise the stack frame may not get created before the call.
+ 1) funcA()'s last instruction is a call to a "noreturn" function like
+ panic(). In this case the noreturn function needs to be added to
+ objtool's hard-coded global_noreturns array. Feel free to bug the
+ objtool maintainer, or you can submit a patch.
-Another possible cause for errors in C code is if the Makefile removes
--fno-omit-frame-pointer or adds -fomit-frame-pointer to the gcc options.
+ 2) funcA() uses the unreachable() annotation in a section of code
+ that is actually reachable.
+
+ 3) If funcA() calls an inline function, the object code for funcA()
+ might be corrupt due to a gcc bug. For more details, see:
+ https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70646
+
+2. If you're getting any other objtool error in a compiled .c file, it
+ may be because the file uses an asm() statement which has a "call"
+ instruction. An asm() statement with a call instruction must declare
+ the use of the stack pointer in its output operand. For example, on
+ x86_64:
+
+ register void *__sp asm("rsp");
+ asm volatile("call func" : "+r" (__sp));
+
+ Otherwise the stack frame may not get created before the call.
+
+3. Another possible cause for errors in C code is if the Makefile removes
+ -fno-omit-frame-pointer or adds -fomit-frame-pointer to the gcc options.
Also see the above section for .S file errors for more information what
the individual error messages mean.
