The way I look at it is that not running objtool is a bug either way, bricking a system is ofcourse a somewhat more drastic failure mode than missing ORC info for example, but neither are good. As to worth, about half the jump labels are shorter now, this reduces I$ pressure on hot paths. Any little thing to offset the ever increasing bulk seems like a good thing to me. But yes, it would be nice if the assemblers wouldn't suck so bad and this wouldn't need objtool :/ But I've tried poking the tools guys and they don't really seem interested :-( Also, only dirty builds are affected here; clean builds (always recommended afaik, because dep trouble isn't unheard of) are fine. > Anyway, here's one way to fix it. Maybe Masahiro has a better idea. Thanks! lemme go read up on this magic :-)
