Subject: OOM on objtool when building x86_64:allyesconfig on system running
 v6.1.x kernels

Hi all,

when trying to build x86_64:allyesconfig on a system running v6.1.x kernels
(currently 6.1.7), I keep getting OOM errors in objtool.

[360871.492187] objtool invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x140dca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), order=0, oom_score_adj=0

The system has 32GB of memory. I do not see the problem on other systems
running v5.15.y kernels, or on the same system before installing a v6.1.x
kernel. I don't think I have ever seen the problem on the same system
when trying to build an older kernel either.

Has anyone else observed a similar problem ? Any idea what might be
going on, or what I can do to help tracking this down ?

Thanks,
Guenter
