objtool: Add do_task_dead() to global noreturn list
objtool reports the following new warning: kernel/exit.o: warning: objtool: do_exit() falls through to next function complete_and_exit() The warning is caused by do_exit()'s new call to do_task_dead(), which is a new "noreturn" function which objtool doesn't know about yet, introduced by: 9af6528ee9b6 ("sched/core: Optimize __schedule()") ( objtool has to know all the global noreturn functions so it can follow the control flow of any functions which call them. Unfortunately they need to be hard-coded because there's no automated way to detect them. ) Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: kbuild-all@01.org Cc: tipbuild@zytor.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160922212125.zbuewckqll4yur25@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
