[PATCH v3 5/6] objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions

[Miguel Ojeda]

Rust functions may be `noreturn` (i.e. diverging) by returning the
"never" type, `!`, e.g.

    fn f() -> ! {
        loop {}
    }

Thus list the known `noreturn` functions to avoid such warnings.

Without this, `objtool` would complain if enabled for Rust, e.g.:

    rust/core.o: warning: objtool:
    _R...9panic_fmt() falls through to next function _R...18panic_nounwind_fmt()

    rust/alloc.o: warning: objtool:
    .text: unexpected end of section

In order to do so, we cannot match symbols' names exactly, for two
reasons:

  - Rust mangling scheme [1] contains disambiguators [2] which we
    cannot predict (e.g. they may vary depending on the compiler version).

    One possibility to solve this would be to parse v0 and ignore/zero
    those before comparison.

  - Some of the diverging functions come from `core`, i.e. the Rust
    standard library, which may change with each compiler version
    since they are implementation details (e.g. `panic_internals`).

Thus, to workaround both issues, only part of the symbols are matched,
instead of using the `NORETURN` macro in `noreturns.h`.

Ideally, just like for the C side, we should have a better solution. For
instance, the compiler could give us the list via something like:

    $ rustc --emit=noreturns ...
