It turns out that while syscall_regfunc() does have an ENDBR when
generated, it gets sealed by objtool's .ibt_endbr_seal list.

Since the only text references to this function:

  $ git grep syscall_regfunc
  include/linux/tracepoint.h:extern int syscall_regfunc(void);
  include/trace/events/syscalls.h:        syscall_regfunc, syscall_unregfunc
  include/trace/events/syscalls.h:        syscall_regfunc, syscall_unregfunc
  kernel/tracepoint.c:int syscall_regfunc(void)

appear in the __tracepoint section which is excluded by objtool.

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.
