objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions
commit 13810435b9a7014fb92eb715f77da488f3b65b99 upstream. GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely. Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as extensions of the original functions. This fixes a bunch of warnings like: kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: parse_cgroup_root_flags()+0x33: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_addrm_files()+0x290: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_apply_control_enable()+0x25b: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: rebind_subsystems()+0x325: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame Reported-and-tested-by: damian <damian.tometzki@icloud.com> Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/0965e7fcfc5f31a276f0c7f298ff770c19b68706.1525923412.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
