commit ecf11ba4d066fe527586c6edd6ca68457ca55cf4 upstream. There's an inconsistency in how sibling calls are detected in non-function asm code, depending on the scope of the object. If the target code is external to the object, objtool considers it a sibling call. If the target code is internal but not a function, objtool *doesn't* consider it a sibling call. This can cause some inconsistencies between per-object and vmlinux.o validation. Instead, assume only ELF functions can do sibling calls. This generally matches existing reality, and makes sibling call validation consistent between vmlinux.o and per-object.

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.
