This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled objtool: Propagate early errors to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: objtool-propagate-early-errors.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d810d0762c86963c18e4e6d7463482c647c36a6c Author: Aaron Plattner <aplattner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 4 17:08:18 2023 -0700 objtool: Propagate early errors [ Upstream commit e959c279d391c10b35ce300fb4b0fe3b98e86bd2 ] If objtool runs into a problem that causes it to exit early, the overall tool still returns a status code of 0, which causes the build to continue as if nothing went wrong. Note this only affects early errors, as later errors are still ignored by check().
