Subject: [PATCH 1/2] objtool: fix the check for dead_end function with multiple sibliing calls
Date: Mon,  3 Nov 2025 18:51:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103185154.1933872-1-xur@google.com> (raw)

From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>

If a function has multiple sibling calls, the dead_end check should
only return true if all sibling call targets are also dead_end
functions.
