Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR. While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on !COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'. While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it explicitly should see it. (Josh Poimboeuf) - Disable branch profiling in noinstr code with a broad brush that includes all of arch/x86/ and kernel/sched/. (Josh Poimboeuf) - Create backup object files on objtool errors and print exact objtool arguments to make failure analysis easier (Josh Poimboeuf) - Improve noreturn handling (Josh Poimboeuf) - Improve rodata handling (Tiezhu Yang) - Support jump tables, switch tables and goto tables on LoongArch (Tiezhu Yang) - Misc cleanups and fixes (Josh Poimboeuf, David Engraf, Ingo Molnar) * tag 'objtool-core-2025-03-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (22 commits) tracing: Disable branch profiling in noinstr code objtool: Use O_CREAT with explicit mode mask objtool: Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR objtool: Create backup on error and print args objtool: Change "warning:" to "error:" for --Werror objtool: Add --Werror option objtool: Add --output option objtool: Upgrade "Linked object detected" warning to error objtool: Consolidate option validation objtool: Remove --unret dependency on --rethunk objtool: Increase per-function WARN_FUNC() rate limit objtool: Update documentation objtool: Improve __noreturn annotation warning objtool: Fix error handling inconsistencies in check() x86/traps: Make exc_double_fault() consistently noreturn LoongArch: Enable jump table for objtool objtool/LoongArch: Add support for goto table objtool/LoongArch: Add support for switch table objtool: Handle PC relative relocation type objtool: Handle different entry size of rodata ...
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 reStructuredText 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.
