bpf: Mark __bpf_prog_run() stack frame as non-standard
objtool reports the following false positive warnings: kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: __bpf_prog_run()+0x5c: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: __bpf_prog_run()+0x60: function has unreachable instruction kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: __bpf_prog_run()+0x64: function has unreachable instruction [...] It's confused by the following dynamic jump instruction in __bpf_prog_run():: jmp *(%r12,%rax,8) which corresponds to the following line in the C code: goto *jumptable[insn->code]; There's no way for objtool to deterministically find all possible branch targets for a dynamic jump, so it can't verify this code. In this case the jumps all stay within the function, and there's nothing unusual going on related to the stack, so we can whitelist the function.
