Subject: [PATCH v2 08/12] objtool: Ignore jumps to the end of the function for non-CFG arches
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:51:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f33fa991df5be569476769bcd970a555745028db.1773787568.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1773787568.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Sometimes Clang arm64 code jumps to the end of the function for UB.
No need to make that an error, arm64 doesn't reverse engineer the CFG
anyway.
Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>
