[PATCH v3 37/39] objtool: Optionally WARN about unused ANNOTATE_NOENDBR

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Mar 03 2022 - 06:33:02 EST


Separate option because this option is somewhat prone to false
positives since a bunch of symbols/annotations are not correctly
#ifdef'ed, presumably to avoid clutter.

Can be manually ran on allmodconfig builds using OBJTOOL_ARGS.
