Re: [PATCH v18 0/9] Compile-time stack metadata validation

FYI, I got this build failure on allmodconfig-x86-64:

objtool.c:134:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

that was with:

gcc version 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7) (GCC)

GCC 5.2.1 does not trigger this warning, which is I suspect why you have not seen
this in your own testing.

I applied the fix below: all paths that generate a nonzero error do an explicit
exit(), so return 0 is fine here.

Thanks,

Ingo
