If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag as appropriate
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):

lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.o: warning: objtool: .text.unlikely: unexpected end of section
--
arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.o: warning: objtool: oops_end() falls through to next function show_opcodes()
I am confused. This change patches objtool to rename
rewind_stack_and_do_exit to rewind_stack_and_make_dead in the list
global_noreturns in tools/objtool/check.c

There is no other change to oops_end other than that renaming.

Did the robot somehow mange to run an old version of objtool while
building and this get this error?

I tried and I am not currently able to reproduce this error. Do you
have any additional pointers on how I might reproduce this?

Hi Eric,

The reproduce step in report based on a full build, I can reproduce the warnings with the below command:

  make W=1 O=build_dir ARCH=x86_64 SHELL=/bin/bash
