Wheee... this seems to have cured it for me.
--- Subject: objtool: Allow no-op CFI ops in alternatives From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Date: Fri May 8 12:34:33 CEST 2020
Randy reported a false-positive: "alternative modifies stack".
What happens is that:
alternative_io("movl %0, %P1", "xchgl %0, %P1", X86_BUG_11AP, 13d: 89 9d 00 d0 7f ff mov %ebx,-0x803000(%rbp)
decodes to an instruction with CFI-ops because it modifies RBP. However, due to this being a !frame-pointer build, that should not in fact change the CFI state.
So instead of dis-allowing any CFI-op, verify the op would've actually changed the CFI state.
