Linux kernel source tree
AutoFDO enables -fsplit-machine-functions which can move the cold parts
of a function to a <func>.cold symbol in a .text.split.<func> section.
Unlike GCC, the Clang <func>.cold symbols are not marked STT_FUNC. This
confuses objtool in several ways, resulting in warnings like the
following:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: apply_retpolines.cold+0xfc: unsupported instruction in callable function
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll.cold+0x2e: unsupported instruction in callable function
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: free_deferred_objects.cold+0x1f: relocation to !ENDBR: free_deferred_objects.cold+0x26
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rpm_idle.cold+0xe0: relocation to !ENDBR: rpm_idle.cold+0xe7
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: tcp_rcv_state_process.cold+0x1c: relocation to !ENDBR: tcp_rcv_state_process.cold+0x23
Fix it by marking the .cold symbols as STT_FUNC.

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 reStructuredText 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.
