objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include <bfd.h> Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>. Fixes: 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") Fixes: 436326bc525d ("objtool: fix build failure due to missing libopcodes check") Reported-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Assisted-by: Antigravity:Gemini-Next Signed-off-by: Ulises Mendez Martinez <umendez@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260904150710.2997558-1-umendez@google.com Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

+ * hung_task_tests.c - Sample code for testing hung tasks with mutex,
+ * semaphore, etc.
+ *
+ * Usage: Load this module and read `<debugfs>/hung_task/mutex`,
+ * `<debugfs>/hung_task/semaphore`, `<debugfs>/hung_task/rw_semaphore_read`,
+ * `<debugfs>/hung_task/rw_semaphore_write`, etc., with 2 or more processes.
+ *
+ * This is for testing kernel hung_task error messages with various locking
+ * mechanisms (e.g., mutex, semaphore, rw_semaphore_read, rw_semaphore_write, etc.).
+ * Note that this may freeze your system or cause a panic. Use only for testing purposes.
