Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] x86/asm: Avoid emitting DWARF CFI for non-VDSO
Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2025 14:34:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250422183722.237323078@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250422183439.895236512@goodmis.org
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
It was decided years ago that .cfi_* annotations aren't maintainable in
the kernel. They were replaced by objtool unwind hints. For the kernel
proper, ensure the CFI_* macros don't do anything.
On the other hand the VDSO library *does* use them, so user space can
unwind through it.
Make sure these macros only work for VDSO. They aren't actually being
used outside of VDSO anyway, so there's no functional change.
