I don't think perl or objtool makes sense. That would be just incredibly fragile because compilers can reorder and mix code. It could be done with a gcc change I suppose. That should be reliable. But that would need to be developed first. We don't have it right now. As the first step a compile time approach should be sufficient. We can add a CONFIG option so people can chose at compile time. Then later we can investigate run time patching. -Andi
