[PATCH] x86/hyperv: Mark hv_ghcb_terminate() as noreturn

From: Guilherme G. Piccoli
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 09:06:48 EST


Annotate the function prototype as noreturn to prevent objtool
warnings like:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: hyperv_init+0x55c: unreachable instruction

As a comparison, an objdump output without the annotation:

[...]
1b63: mov $0x1,%esi
1b68: xor %edi,%edi
1b6a: callq ffffffff8102f680 <hv_ghcb_terminate>
1b6f: jmpq ffffffff82f217ec <hyperv_init+0x9c> # unreachable
1b74: cmpq $0xffffffffffffffff,-0x702a24(%rip)
[...]

Now, after adding the __noreturn to the function prototype:

[...]
17df: callq ffffffff8102f6d0 <hv_ghcb_negotiate_protocol>
17e4: test %al,%al
17e6: je ffffffff82f21bb9 <hyperv_init+0x469>
[...] <many insns>
1bb9: mov $0x1,%esi
1bbe: xor %edi,%edi
1bc0: callq ffffffff8102f680 <hv_ghcb_terminate>
1bc5: nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) # end of function

Hey folks, after getting the warning myself a quick search led me to Arnd's
thorough report - investigating a bit, this seems to be the proper solution.

Notice I didn't add the function to objtool's static list, seems this is
unnecessary in this case - lemme know otherwise!
Thanks in advance for reviews,


Guilherme
