[PATCH v2 1/2] objtool: Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Mon Jun 05 2023 - 12:12:39 EST


If the code specified UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED, skip the "undefined stack
state" warning due to a stack operation. Just ignore the stack op and
continue to propagate the undefined state.
