Subject: [PATCH v3 27/64] objtool: Mark .cold subfunctions
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2025 16:55:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dbba3d7d7bcf13f496f3ce6319fe5e55572b2225.1750980517.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1750980516.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Introduce a flag to identify .cold subfunctions so they can be detected
easier and faster.
