There are warnings:

arch/x86/lib/clear_page_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0xb: unreachable instruction

0000000000000000 <clear_page_rep>:
0: b9 00 02 00 00 mov ecx,0x200
5: 31 c0 xor eax,eax
7: f3 48 ab rep stos QWORD PTR es:[rdi],rax
a: c3 ret
===> b: cc int3
c: cc int3
d: cc int3
e: cc int3
f: cc int3

0000000000000010 <clear_page_orig>:

But both function are annotated with ENTRY/ENDPROC.
