[PATCH 11/22] objtool: Add mcsafe_handle_tail() to the uaccess safe list

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Sun Jul 14 2019 - 20:38:31 EST


After an objtool improvement, it's reporting that __memcpy_mcsafe() is
calling mcsafe_handle_tail() with AC=1:

arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.o: warning: objtool: .fixup+0x13: call to mcsafe_handle_tail() with UACCESS enabled
arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.o: warning: objtool: __memcpy_mcsafe()+0x34: (alt)
arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.o: warning: objtool: __memcpy_mcsafe()+0xb: (branch)
arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.o: warning: objtool: __memcpy_mcsafe()+0x0: <=== (func)

mcsafe_handle_tail() is basically an extension of __memcpy_mcsafe(), so
AC=1 is supposed to be set. Add mcsafe_handle_tail() to the uaccess
safe list.
