[PATCH 1/2] efi/runtime-wrappers: mark efi_rts_park_worker() as __noreturn
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Mon Jul 13 2026 - 09:19:53 EST
efi_rts_park_worker() loops in schedule() forever and never returns, but
it is not annotated as such. When efi_crash_gracefully_on_page_fault()
calls it, objtool cannot tell the call is a dead end and warns about the
unreachable code that follows it:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: efi_crash_gracefully_on_page_fault+0xc3: efi_rts_park_worker() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h
Mark both the declaration and the definition __noreturn, and add the
function to objtool's noreturn list.
Fixes: 3e5ba97c181e ("efi/runtime-wrappers: factor out efi_rts_park_worker()")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202607100848.iWPxdkhX-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
