Subject: objtool: Add STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD() macro
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9a99417acbad99ba6c6a9389b45a53a4d002bb7e;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

objtool: Add STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD() macro

Add a new macro, STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD(), which is used to denote a
function which does something unusual related to its stack frame.  Use
of the macro prevents objtool from emitting a false positive warning.
