Arnd reported some false positive warnings with GCC 7: drivers/hid/wacom_wac.o: warning: objtool: wacom_bpt3_touch()+0x2a5: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=6+16 drivers/iio/adc/vf610_adc.o: warning: objtool: vf610_adc_calculate_rates() falls through to next function vf610_adc_sample_set() drivers/pwm/pwm-hibvt.o: warning: objtool: hibvt_pwm_get_state() falls through to next function hibvt_pwm_remove() drivers/pwm/pwm-mediatek.o: warning: objtool: mtk_pwm_config() falls through to next function mtk_pwm_enable() drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.o: warning: objtool: .text: unexpected end of section drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835aux.o: warning: objtool: .text: unexpected end of section drivers/watchdog/digicolor_wdt.o: warning: objtool: dc_wdt_get_timeleft() falls through to next function dc_wdt_restart() When GCC 7 detects a potential divide-by-zero condition, it sometimes inserts a UD2 instruction for the case where the divisor is zero, instead of letting the hardware trap on the divide instruction. Objtool doesn't consider UD2 to be fatal unless it's annotated with unreachable(). So it considers the GCC-generated UD2 to be non-fatal, and it tries to follow the control flow past the UD2 and gets confused. Previously, objtool *did* assume UD2 was always a dead end. That changed with the following commit: |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
