Steven Rostedt discovered that the ftrace stack tracer is broken when it's used with the ORC unwinder. The problem is that objtool is instructed by the Makefile to ignore the ftrace_64.S code, so it doesn't generate any ORC data for it. Fix it by making the asm code objtool-friendly: - Objtool doesn't like the fact that save_mcount_regs pushes RBP at the beginning, but it's never restored (directly, at least). So just skip the original RBP push, which is only needed for frame pointers anyway. - Annotate some functions as normal callable functions with ENTRY/ENDPROC. - Add an empty unwind hint to return_to_handler(). The return address isn't on the stack, so there's nothing ORC can do there. It will just punt in the unlikely case it tries to unwind from that code. With all that fixed, remove the OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile annotation so objtool can read the file.

README
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.
