Arnd found a randconfig that produces the warning: arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at offset 0x3e when building with LLVM_IAS=1 (Clang's integrated assembler). Josh notes: With the LLVM assembler not generating section symbols, objtool has no way to reference this code when it generates ORC unwinder entries, because this code is outside of any ELF function. The limitation now being imposed by objtool is that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. And .L symbols don't create such symbols. So basically, you can use an .L symbol *inside* a function or a code segment, you just can't use the .L symbol to contain the code using a SYM_*_START/END annotation pair. Fangrui notes that this optimization is helpful for reducing image size when compiling with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections. I have observed on the order of tens of thousands of symbols for the kernel images built with those flags. A patch has been authored against GNU binutils to match this behavior of not generating unused section symbols ([1]), so this will also become a problem for users of GNU binutils once they upgrade to 2.36. Omit the .L prefix on a label so that the assembler will emit an entry into the symbol table for the label, with STB_LOCAL binding. This enables objtool to generate proper unwind info here with LLVM_IAS=1 or GNU binutils 2.36+.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
