Do you have CONFIG_XEN enabled? I can reproduce this on ToT master as follows:

$ git rev-parse HEAD
585e5b17b92dead8a3aca4e3c9876fbca5f7e0ba
$ make defconfig && \
./scripts/config -e HYPERVISOR_GUEST -e PARAVIRT -e XEN && \
make olddefconfig && \
make -j110
...
$ ./tools/objtool/objtool check -arfld vmlinux.o 2>&1 | grep secondary
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __startup_secondary_64()+0x2: return with
modified stack frame

No, that didn't fix the warning. Here's what I tested:

diff --git a/tools/objtool/check.c b/tools/objtool/check.c
index c6ab44543c92..f1f65f5688cf 100644

        if (!func)
