Subject: objtool: Add Clang support
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3c1f05835cbf9fdfe60b81c718d82ceb94b6c55e upstream.
Since the ORC unwinder was made the default on x86_64, Clang-built
defconfig kernels have triggered some new objtool warnings:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gpu_error.o: warning: objtool: i915_error_printf()+0x6c: return with modified stack frame
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.o: warning: objtool: pipe_config_err()+0xa6: return with modified stack frame
The problem is that objtool has never seen clang-built binaries before.
Shockingly enough, objtool is apparently able to follow the code flow
mostly fine, except for one instruction sequence. Instead of a LEAVE
instruction, clang restores RSP and RBP the long way:
67c: 48 89 ec mov %rbp,%rsp
67f: 5d pop %rbp
Teach objtool about this new code sequence.
