During x86_64 kernel build with CONFIG_KMSAN, the objtool warns following:
AR built-in.a AR vmlinux.a LD vmlinux.o vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug+0x4: call to kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() leaves .noinstr.text section OBJCOPY modules.builtin.modinfo GEN modules.builtin MODPOST Module.symvers CC .vmlinux.export.o
Moving kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() _after_ instrumentation_begin() fixes the warning.
There is decode_bug(regs->ip, &imm) is left before KMSAN unpoisoining, but it has the return condition and if we include it after instrumentation_begin() it results the warning "return with instrumentation enabled", hence, I'm concerned that regs will not be KMSAN unpoisoned if `ud_type == BUG_NONE` is true.
