Warnings [1], [2], and [3] are seen with pseries_le_defconfig.

[1] - arch/powerpc/crypto/aesp8-ppc.o: warning: objtool: aes_p8_set_encrypt_key+0x44: unannotated intra-function call
[2] - arch/powerpc/crypto/aesp8-ppc.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x2448: unannotated intra-function call
[3] - arch/powerpc/crypto/aesp8-ppc.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x2d68: unannotated intra-function call

Given that there are no calls to _mcount, one way to address this warning, is by skipping objtool from running on arch/powerpc/crypto/aesp8-ppc.o file.
The below diff works for me.

The other way to fix these warnings is by using ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL macro to indicate that the branch target is valid. And, by annotating symbols with SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL and SYM_FUNC_END macros.
The below diff works for me:
