Please explain. For two main reasons:
1. Since this file comes from OpenSSL, and since it is a perl file which generates a .S file, it may not be the best choice to make too many code changes to such files, unless absolutely necessary.
2. Second reason is that, at least as far as the objtool --mcount functionality is concerned, we do not have to run objtool on that file because that file does not have any calls to _mcount. > >> Signed-off-by: Sathvika Vasireddy <sv@linux.ibm.com> >> --- >> drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile | 2 ++ >> 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile b/drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile >> index 2560cfea1dec..7b41f0da6807 100644 >> --- a/drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile >> +++ b/drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile >> @@ -9,3 +9,5 @@ targets += aesp8-ppc.S ghashp8-ppc.S >> >> $(obj)/aesp8-ppc.S $(obj)/ghashp8-ppc.S: $(obj)/%.S: $(src)/%.pl FORCE >> $(call if_changed,perl) >> + >> +OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_aesp8-ppc.o := y
