Subject: [RFC v2 2/6] objtool: ignore instructions
Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2018 23:21:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181231072112.21051-3-namit@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181231072112.21051-1-namit@vmware.com>

In certain cases there is a need to suppress objtool warnings on
specific instructions. Provide an interface to achieve this goal.
