From 8b4f2b6389bffc1116b6654f3d186187031624b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 14:55:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings [ Upstream commit 6b023c7842048c4bbeede802f3cf36b96c7a8b25 ] In the past there were issues with KCOV triggering unreachable instruction warnings, which is why unreachable warnings are now disabled with CONFIG_KCOV. Now some new KCOV warnings are showing up with GCC 14: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cpuset_write_resmask() falls through to next function cpuset_update_active_cpus.cold() drivers/usb/core/driver.o: error: objtool: usb_deregister() falls through to next function usb_match_device() sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-wcd934x.o: warning: objtool: .text.wcd934x_slim_irq_handler: unexpected end of section All are caused by GCC KCOV not finishing an optimization, leaving behind a never-taken conditional branch to a basic block which falls through to the next function (or end of section). At a high level this is similar to the unreachable warnings mentioned above, in that KCOV isn't fully removing dead code. Treat it the same way by adding these to the list of warnings to ignore with CONFIG_KCOV.
