Hi,

New warning AFAIK:

drivers/hwmon/smsc47m1.o: warning: objtool: fan_div_store()+0x11f: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

I'm getting a different warning:

   drivers/hwmon/smsc47m1.o: warning: objtool: fan_div_store()+0xb6: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x93a

But I bet the root cause is the same.

This fixes it for me:

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] hwmon/smsc47m1: Fix objtool warning caused by undefined behavior

Objtool is reporting the following warning:

   drivers/hwmon/smsc47m1.o: warning: objtool: fan_div_store()+0xb6: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x93a

It's apparently caused by

   2cf6745e69d1 ("hwmon: (smsc47m1) fix (suspicious) outside array bounds warnings")

which is somehow convincing GCC to add a jump past the end of the
function:

   793:   45 85 ed                test   %r13d,%r13d
   796:   0f 88 9e 01 00 00       js     93a <fan_div_store+0x25a>
   ...
   930:   e9 5e fe ff ff          jmpq   793 <fan_div_store+0xb3>
   935:   e8 00 00 00 00          callq  93a <fan_div_store+0x25a>
			936: R_X86_64_PLT32     __stack_chk_fail-0x4
   <function end>

I suppose this falls under the category of undefined behavior, so we
probably can't call it a GCC bug.  But if the value of "nr" were out of
range somehow then it would start executing random code.  Use a runtime
BUG() assertion to avoid undefined behavior.

Sigh. And I wanted to avoid BUG() because this is all just to make
the compiler happy to start with. Oh well. I updated the offending
patch to use BUG().
