[PATCH 5/5] objtool: Add "missing __noreturn" warning

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Most "unreachable instruction" warnings these days seem to actually be
the result of a missing __noreturn annotation.  Add an explicit check
for that.

+13. file.o: warning: func(): missing __noreturn
+
+   Objtool has detected that the function doesn't return, but is missing
+   the __noreturn annotation.  NOTE: In addition to adding the
+   __noreturn annotation, the function name also needs to be added to
+   'global_noreturns' in tools/objtool/check.c.
+
 
 If the error doesn't seem to make sense, it could be a bug in objtool.
 Feel free to ask the objtool maintainer for help.
