It turned out that we failed to detect some sibling calls; specifically those without relocation records; like:
$ ./objdump-func.sh defconfig-build/mm/kasan/generic.o __asan_loadN 0000 0000000000000840 <__asan_loadN>: 0000 840: 48 8b 0c 24 mov (%rsp),%rcx 0004 844: 31 d2 xor %edx,%edx 0006 846: e9 45 fe ff ff jmpq 690 <check_memory_region> So extend the cross-function jump to also consider those that are not between known (or newly detected) parent/child functions, as sibling-cals when they jump to the start of the function. The second part of that condition is to deal with random jumps to the middle of other function, as can be found in arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.S for example. This then (with later patches applied) makes the above recognise the sibling call: mm/kasan/generic.o: warning: objtool: __asan_loadN()+0x6: call to check_memory_region() with UACCESS enabled Also make sure to set insn->call_dest for sibling calls so we can know who we're calling. This is useful information when printing validation warnings later.
