From 4fab2d7628dd38f3fa8a5e615199350ecaeb17a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 14:55:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Fix init_module() handling If IBT is enabled and a module uses the deprecated init_module() magic function name rather than module_init(fn), its ENDBR will get removed, causing an IBT failure during module load. Objtool does print an obscure warning, but then does nothing to either correct it or return an error. Improve the usefulness of the warning and return an error so it will at least fail the build with CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
