[PATCH 08/14] objtool: Allow setting --mnop without --mcount

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-03-05 03:31:53
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: objtool, the rest · Maintainers: Josh Poimboeuf, Peter Zijlstra, Linus Torvalds

Instead of returning an error for --mnop without --mcount, just silently
ignore it.  This will help simplify kbuild's handling of objtool args.
