[RFC PATCH 0/2] Fix objtool warnings if LTO is enabled for LoongArch (Part 2)
Posted by Tiezhu Yang 1 month, 1 week ago
The previous series is to fix most of the warnings (total 3030):

  sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

This series is a follow up to fix 2 kinds of warnings (total 24), it only
touches the LoongArch related code:

  falls through to next function
  unreachable instruction

With this series, there is only 1 kind of warning (total 3), it does not
only touch the LoongArch related code:

  missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

In order to silence the above warnings, it needs to change the related
code to give the functions __noreturn attribute, and have a NORETURN()
annotation in tools/objtool/noreturns.h. IMO, it will touch all of the
archs and the generic code, so this needs much more work to avoid the
side effect or regression, once it is done I will send out the patch.

Tiezhu Yang (2):
  objtool/LoongArch: Fix fall through warning about efi_boot_kernel()
  objtool/LoongArch: Fix unreachable instruction warnings about head.S
