[ Upstream commit db6c6a0df840e3f52c84cc302cc1a08ba11a4416 ]
When a function is annotated with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD, objtool
doesn't validate its code paths. It also skips sibling call detection
within the function.
But sibling call detection is actually needed for the case where the
ignored function doesn't have any return instructions. Otherwise
objtool naively marks the function as implicit static noreturn, which
affects the reachability of its callers, resulting in "unreachable
instruction" warnings.
Fix it by just enabling sibling call detection for ignored functions.
The 'insn->ignore' check in add_jump_destinations() is no longer needed
after
e6da9567959e ("objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps").
Fixes the following warning:
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.o: warning: objtool: vmx_handle_exit_irqoff()+0x142:
unreachable instruction
which triggers on an allmodconfig with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL unset.
