What arch are you using ?

IIUC, BUG() should have an annotation for objtool, for
example, __builtin_unreachable() for x86.

Maybe the arch is missing such an annotation ?

Also I'm curious why objtool complains about only skb_push(),
there should be more non-inline functions that has BUG().

Thanks,
Kuniyuki
