Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 12/17] objtool: Trace instruction state changes during function validation
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 16:56:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250619145659.1377970-13-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250619145659.1377970-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>
During function validation, objtool maintains a per-instruction state,
in particular to track call frame information. When tracing validation,
print any instruction state changes.
