From 9a99417acbad99ba6c6a9389b45a53a4d002bb7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 22:22:35 -0600 Subject: objtool: Add STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD() macro Add a new macro, STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD(), which is used to denote a function which does something unusual related to its stack frame. Use of the macro prevents objtool from emitting a false positive warning.
