Subject: [PATCH v2] efistub: Only link libstub to final vmlinux
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2025 16:55:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250928085506.4471-1-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn> (raw)
When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is set, there exists
the following objtool warning on LoongArch:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __efistub_efi_boot_kernel()
falls through to next function __efistub_exit_boot_func()
This is because efi_boot_kernel() doesn't end with a return instruction
or an unconditional jump, then objtool has determined that the function
can fall through into the next function.
At the beginning, try to do something to make efi_boot_kernel() ends with
an unconditional jump instruction, but this modification seems not proper.
Since the efistub functions are useless for stack unwinder, they can be
ignored by objtool. After many discussions, no need to link libstub to
the vmlinux.o, only link libstub to the final vmlinux.
Do the similar things for arm64 and riscv, otherwise there may be objtool
warnings when arm64 and riscv support objtool, this is to make consistent
with the archs that use libstub.
