[PATCH] objtool: ignore unreachable trap after call to noreturn functions

From: Ilie Halip
Date: Thu Sep 17 2020 - 04:49:25 EST


With CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP enabled, the compiler may insert a trap instruction
after a call to a noreturn function. In this case, objtool warns that the
ud2 instruction is unreachable.

objtool silences similar warnings (trap after dead end instructions), so
expand that check to include dead end functions.
