From 2513cbf9d622d85268655bfd787d4f004342cfc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 09:09:34 -0500 Subject: objtool: Silence warnings for functions which use IRET Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction in them. That's because it assumed that such functions know what they're doing with respect to frame pointers. With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions, and started complaining about them: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function Silence those warnings for now. They can be re-enabled later, once we have unwind hints which will allow the code to annotate the IRET usages.
