linux-stable.git/tools/objtool/cfi.h, branch v4.13.2 Linux kernel stable tree objtool: Implement stack validation 2.0 2017-06-30T08:19:19+00:00 Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com 2017-06-28T15:11:07+00:00 baa41469a7b992c1e3db2a39854219cc7442e48f This is a major rewrite of objtool. Instead of only tracking frame pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including all register saves/restores. In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the way for undwarf generation.

This is a major rewrite of objtool.  Instead of only tracking frame
pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including
all register saves/restores.

In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the
way for undwarf generation.
