From c1fad9ef7ed14aad464972e6444e7a3bd5670f26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 16:21:25 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Add do_task_dead() to global noreturn list objtool reports the following new warning: kernel/exit.o: warning: objtool: do_exit() falls through to next function complete_and_exit() The warning is caused by do_exit()'s new call to do_task_dead(), which is a new "noreturn" function which objtool doesn't know about yet, introduced by: 9af6528ee9b6 ("sched/core: Optimize __schedule()") ( objtool has to know all the global noreturn functions so it can follow the control flow of any functions which call them. Unfortunately they need to be hard-coded because there's no automated way to detect them. ) Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: kbuild-all@01.org Cc: tipbuild@zytor.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160922212125.zbuewckqll4yur25@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- tools/objtool/builtin-check.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/tools/objtool/builtin-check.c b/tools/objtool/builtin-check.c index bd09d0effef8..143b6cdd7f06 100644 --- a/tools/objtool/builtin-check.c +++ b/tools/objtool/builtin-check.c @@ -175,6 +175,7 @@ static int __dead_end_function(struct objtool_file *file, struct symbol *func, "__stack_chk_fail", "panic", "do_exit", + "do_task_dead", "__module_put_and_exit", "complete_and_exit", "kvm_spurious_fault",
