Subject: [PATCH v3 10/21] objtool: Ignore jumps to the end of the function for checksum runs
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 20:34:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b3b58101e15e1bb5266e57134f0b65f7d8efdd4b.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Sometimes Clang arm64 code jumps to the end of the function for UB.
No need to make that an error for checksum runs.
