_The_ problem is that new binutils cannot sanely decode any function
that has a WARN in (this very much includes perf annotate):
old:

I went through the register opcodes and matched it against the ModR/M
encoding, and the best option I've found so far is using 0xd6 as the
next byte.
That yields:
old:
0000000000001690 <copy_overflow>:
1690: 48 89 f2 mov %rsi,%rdx
1693: 89 fe mov %edi,%esi

1698: R_X86_64_32S .rodata.str1.8+0x270
169c: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 16a1 <copy_overflow+0x11>
169d: R_X86_64_PC32 __warn_printk-0x4
16a1: 0f ff (bad)
16a3: d6 (bad)
16a4: c3 retq
16a5: 90 nop
16a6: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)

And only grows a defconfig image by 91 bytes, purely for the purpose of
being able to disassemble it :/
