objtool: radeon_bo_list_validate+0x268: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

[nathanchance]

With several x86_64 distribution configurations:

$ curl -LSso .config https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/raw/main/config

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 olddefconfig drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.o
...
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.o: warning: objtool: radeon_bo_list_validate+0x260: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

With a simpler configuration, there is a different warning in this function.

$ cat allno.config
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_PCI=y

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean allnoconfig drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.o
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_object.o: warning: objtool: radeon_bo_list_validate+0x21b: unreachable instruction

I got something similar for amdgpu on my ArrowLake Gentoo Linux Box (LLVM 21.1.3):

Happens on kernels v6.16.12 and v6.17.x. Last good one is v6.16.11.

Don't get this when building with GCC 15.2.0.

Kernel .config attached.

The radeon.o instance was introduced by llvm/llvm-project@4109bac according to my bisect.

Do you perhaps have a commit to patch to revert this commit on top of 21.1.4 or 21.1.5? Could check out whether my issue with amdgpu would also be positively affected.

Interestingly I don't get the build failure when I build my Thinkpad T60 (32bit Intel Core Solo, Mobility Radeon X1300) x86_32 kernel with radeon driver...

I think there was too much work on top of that change to easily revert it :/

I did file an issue upstream for this based on further examination and a cvise reduction: llvm/llvm-project#167774
