[PATCH 2/2] objtool: Improve call destination function detection

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Mon Feb 17 2020 - 22:42:19 EST


A recent clang change, combined with a binutils bug, can trigger a
situation where a ".Lprintk$local" STT_NOTYPE symbol gets created at the
same offset as the "printk" STT_FUNC symbol. This confuses objtool:

kernel/printk/printk.o: warning: objtool: ignore_loglevel_setup()+0x10: can't find call dest symbol at .text+0xc67

Improve the call destination detection by looking specifically for an
STT_FUNC symbol.
