CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING inserts a call to ftrace_likely_update() for each use of likely() or unlikely(). That breaks noinstr rules if the affected function is annotated as noinstr. Disable branch profiling for files with noinstr functions. In addition to some individual files, this also includes the entire arch/x86 subtree, as well as the kernel/entry, drivers/cpuidle, and drivers/idle directories, all of which are noinstr-heavy. Due to the nature of how sched binaries are built by combining multiple .c files into one, branch profiling is disabled more broadly across the sched code than would otherwise be needed. This fixes many warnings like the following: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x40: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __rdgsbase_inactive+0x33: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug.isra.0+0x198: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section ...

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.
