[RFC][PATCH 04/17] objtool/x86: Fix SRSO mess
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Aug 09 2023 - 03:27:09 EST
arch_is_rethunk() indicates those functions that will be considered
equivalent to INSN_RETURN and any callsite will be added to the
.return_sites section.
Notably: srso_untrain_ret, srso_safe_ret and __ret do not qualify.
The only thing that needs consideration is srso_safe_ret(), since that
is, like __x86_return_thunk, inside another instruction. Skip
validating that.
