Teach objtool about STT_NOTYPE -> STT_FUNC+0 sibling calls. Doing do allows slightly simpler .S files. There is a slight complication in that we specifically do not want to allow sibling calls from symbol holes (previously covered by STT_WEAK symbols) -- such things exist where a weak function has a .cold subfunction for example. Additionally, STT_NOTYPE tail-calls are allowed to happen with a modified stack frame, they don't need to obey the normal rules after all. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
