The file-wide OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD annotation is used with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to tell objtool to skip the entire file when frame
pointers are enabled. However that annotation is now deprecated because
it doesn't work with IBT, where objtool runs on vmlinux.o instead of
individual translation units.
Instead, use more fine-grained function-specific annotations:
- The 'save_mcount_regs' macro does funny things with the frame pointer.
Use STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD_FP to tell objtool to ignore the
functions using it.
- The return_to_handler() "function" isn't actually a callable function.
Instead of being called, it's returned to. The real return address
isn't on the stack, so unwinding is already doomed no matter which
unwinder is used. So just remove the STT_FUNC annotation, telling
objtool to ignore it. That also removes the implicit
ANNOTATE_NOENDBR, which now needs to be made explicit.
Fixes the following warning:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __fentry__+0x16: return with modified stack frame
Fixes: ed53a0d971 ("x86/alternative: Use .ibt_endbr_seal to seal indirect calls")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
