[PATCH 1/2] objtool: Fix validate_branch() return codes

Show all headers | View raw

The validate_branch() function should never return a negative value.
Errors are treated as warnings so that even if something goes wrong,
objtool does its best to generate ORC data for the rest of the file.

Fixes: baa41469a7b9 ("objtool: Implement stack validation 2.0")
