Hi Sami,
Thanks for the update.
I am interested in having Clang LTO (Clang-CFI) for x86-64 working and
help with testing.
I tried the Git tree mentioned in [3] <jpoimboe.git#objtool-vmlinux>
(together with changes from <peterz.git#x86/urgent>).
I only see in my build-log...
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool:
eb_relocate_parse_slow()+0x3d0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120
cfa2=-1+0
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool:
eb_copy_relocations()+0x229: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120
cfa2=-1+0
...which was reported and worked on in [1].
This is with Clang-IAS version 11.0.1.
Unfortunately, the recent changes in <samitolvanen.github#clang-cfi>
do not cleanly apply with Josh stuff.
My intention/wish was to report this combination of patchsets "heals"
a lot of objtool-warnings for vmlinux.o I observed with Clang-CFI.
Is it possible to have a Git branch where Josh's objtool-vmlinux is
working together with Clang-LTO?
For testing purposes.
Thanks.
