objtool: Silence warnings for functions which use IRET
Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction
in them. That's because it assumed that such functions know what
they're doing with respect to frame pointers.
With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions,
and started complaining about them:
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function
Silence those warnings for now. They can be re-enabled later, once we
have unwind hints which will allow the code to annotate the IRET usages.
