commit 0afd0d9e0e upstream.
Objtool has some crude logic for detecting static "noreturn" functions
(aka "dead ends"). This is necessary for being able to correctly follow
GCC code flow when such functions are called.
It's remotely possible for two functions to call each other via sibling
calls. If they don't have RET instructions, objtool's noreturn
detection logic goes into a recursive loop:
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: return_hosed_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: deliver_recv_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)
Instead of reporting an error in this case, consider the functions to be
non-dead-ends.

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.
