I think what Josh was trying to say is; this file is subject to objtool
on a normal build and does not generate warnings. So why would it
generate warnings when subject to objtool as result of a vmlinux run
(due to LTO or otherwise).
In fact, when I build a x86_64-defconfig and then run:
$ objtool check -barf defconfig-build/vmlinux.o
I do not see these in particular, although I do see a lot of:
"sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame"
"falls through to next function"
that did not show up in the individual objtool runs during the build.
The "falls through to next function" seems to be limited to things like:
warning: objtool: setup_vq() falls through to next function setup_vq.cold()
warning: objtool: e1000_xmit_frame() falls through to next function e1000_xmit_frame.cold()
So something's weird with the .cold thing on vmlinux.o runs.
