Subject: [PATCH v2 27/62] objtool: Mark .cold subfunctions
Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 13:16:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d67ebbcb2d1da07b08ba3e2d43339b857a874b40.1746821544.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1746821544.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Introduce a flag to identify .cold subfunctions so they can be detected
easier and faster.
