With some configs, objtool reports the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_modify_code_direct()+0x2d: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame The instruction it's complaining about isn't actually a sibling call. It's just a normal jump to an address inside the function. Objtool thought it was a sibling call because the instruction's jump_dest wasn't initialized because the function was supposed to be ignored due to its use of sync_core(). Objtool ended up validating the function instead of ignoring it because it didn't properly recognize a sibling call to the function. So fix the sibling call logic. Also add a warning to catch ignored functions being validated so we'll get a more useful error message next time.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
