[PATCH v5 1/3] x86/syscall: Mark exit[_group] syscall handlers __noreturn

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Tue May 07 2024 - 01:30:29 EST


The direct-call syscall dispatch function doesn't know that the exit()
and exit_group() syscall handlers don't return, so the call sites aren't
optimized accordingly.

Fix that by marking those exit syscall declarations __noreturn.

Fixes the following warnings:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: x64_sys_call+0x2804: __x64_sys_exit() is missing a __noreturn annotation
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ia32_sys_call+0x29b6: __ia32_sys_exit_group() is missing a __noreturn annotation

Fixes: 7390db8aea0d ("x86/bhi: Add support for clearing branch history at syscall entry")
