objtool: Fix UNWIND_HINT_{SAVE,RESTORE} across basic blocks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 10b4c4bce3f5541f54bcc2039720b11d2bc96d79 ]

If SAVE and RESTORE unwind hints are in different basic blocks, and
objtool sees the RESTORE before the SAVE, it errors out with:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_in+0x242: objtool isn't smart enough to handle this CFI save/restore combo

In such a case, defer following the RESTORE block until the
straight-line path gets followed later.
