You can reproduce all of these using a normal gcc build without any of the LTO patches by running objtool check -arfld vmlinux.o. However, with gcc you'll see even more warnings due to duplicate symbol names, as Peter pointed out elsewhere in the thread, so I looked at only the warnings that objtool also prints with LTO. Note that the LTO series contains a patch to split noinstr validation from --vmlinux, as we need to run objtool here even if CONFIG_VMLINUX_VALIDATION isn't selected, so I have not looked at the noinstr warnings. The latest LTO tree is available here: https://github.com/samitolvanen/linux/commits/clang-lto > Here's the patch for hopefully making the warnings more helpful: Thanks, I'll give it a try. Sami
