4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d1091c7fa3d52ebce4dd3f15d04155b3469b2f90 upstream. The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable() macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous instruction. On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current code path has come to a dead end. Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is always a dead end. Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals, the better. So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable' section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.
