Re: [PATCH 2/2] x86/unwind: Make CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y the default in kconfig for 64-bit

Building an upstream kernel with clang results in plenty of objtool
warnings like these:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/dvo_ch7017.o: warning: objtool: ch7017_get_hw_state()+0x80: return with modified stack frame
  CC      drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_oa_cflgt2.o
...
  CC      drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_lpe_audio.o
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gpu_error.o: warning: objtool: i915_error_printf()+0x6c: return with modified stack frame
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.o: warning: objtool: pipe_config_err()+0xa6: return with modified stack frame

Bisecting shows that the warnings are generated since the ORC unwinder
was made the default. Not sure if the issue is on the unwinder side
or clang.

Any ideas on what could be the problems?

Thanks

Matthias
