Validate that any call out of .noinstr.text is in between instr_begin() and instr_end() annotations. This annotation is useful to ensure correct behaviour wrt tracing sensitive code like entry/exit and idle code. When we run code in a sensitive context we want a guarantee no unknown code is ran. Since this validation relies on knowing the section of call destination symbols, we must run it on vmlinux.o instead of on individual object files. Add two options: -d/--duplicate "duplicate validation for vmlinux" -l/--vmlinux "vmlinux.o validation" Where the latter auto-detects when objname ends with "vmlinux.o" and the former will force all validations, also those already done on !vmlinux object files.

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.
