Clang can inline emit_indirect_jump() and then folds constants, which
results in:

  | vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_dispatcher()+0x6a4: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x40
  | vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_dispatcher()+0x67d: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x40
  | vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_tail_call_indirect()+0x386: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x20
  | vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: emit_bpf_tail_call_indirect()+0x35d: relocation to !ENDBR: .text.__x86.indirect_thunk+0x20

Suppress the optimization such that it must emit a code reference to
the __x86_indirect_thunk_array[] base.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
