This should tell the build to invoke objtool on that file: diff --git a/arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile b/arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile index b1b8dd1608f7..92d67379f570 100644 --- a/arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile +++ b/arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ UBSAN_SANITIZE_vma.o := y KCSAN_SANITIZE_vma.o := y OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_vma.o := n OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_extable.o := n +OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_vdso-image-64.o := n # vDSO images to build vdso_img-$(VDSO64-y) += 64
