+ * Because instrumentation_{begin,end}() can nest, objtool validation considers

+ * When the value is greater than 0, we consider instrumentation allowed.
+ *
+ * There is a problem with code like:
+ *
+ * noinstr void foo()
+ * {
+ * instrumentation_begin();
+ * ...
+ * if (cond) {
+ * instrumentation_begin();
+ * ...
+ * instrumentation_end();
+ * }
+ * bar();
+ * instrumentation_end();
+ * }
+ *
+ * If instrumentation_end() would be an empty label, like all the other
+ * annotations, the inner _end(), which is at the end of a conditional block,
+ * would land on the instruction after the block.
+ *
+ * If we then consider the sum of the !cond path, we'll see that the call to
+ * bar() is with a 0-value, even though, we meant it to happen with a positive
+ * value.
+ *
+ * To avoid this, have _end() be a NOP instruction, this ensures it will be
+ * part of the condition block and does not escape.
