That thing comes from:

SYM_FUNC_START(vmx_do_interrupt_irqoff)
        VMX_DO_EVENT_IRQOFF CALL_NOSPEC _ASM_ARG1
SYM_FUNC_END(vmx_do_interrupt_irqoff)

at the end of arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmenter.S.

I know Sean had a patchset to cleanup that gunk. Sean?

>From reading objtool docs, those functions (vmx_do_nmi_irqoff() too AFAICT)
should have FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END  but if I do that, objtool bitches
differently:

arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.o: warning: objtool: vmx_do_interrupt_irqoff+0xc: undefined stack state

Suggestions?

The other file it warns about is:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x2eb: call without frame pointer save/setup

That is fixed by
