With the following commit:
f09d160992d1 ("x86/entry/64: Get rid of the ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK and SAVE_AND_CLEAR_REGS macros")
... one of my suggested improvements triggered a frame pointer warning:
arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: paranoid_entry()+0x11: call without frame pointer save/setup
The warning is correct for the build-time code, but it's actually not
relevant at runtime because of paravirt patching. The paravirt swapgs
call gets replaced with either a SWAPGS instruction or NOPs at runtime.
Go back to the previous behavior by removing the ELF function annotation
for paranoid_entry() and adding an unwind hint, which effectively
silences the warning.
