Since objtool's inception, frame pointer warnings have been manually
silenced for __arch_hweight*() to allow those functions' inline asm to
avoid using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT.
The potentially dubious reasoning for that decision over nine years ago
was that since !X86_FEATURE_POPCNT is exceedingly rare, it's not worth
hurting the code layout for a function call that will never happen on
the vast majority of systems.
However, those functions actually started using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT with
the following commit:
194a613088 ("x86/hweight: Use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in inline asm()")
And rightfully so, as it makes the code correct. ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT
will soon have no effect for non-FP configs anyway.
With ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in place, ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE no longer
has a purpose for the hweight functions. Remove it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
