Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molar:
"Build footprint & performance improvements:
- Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel,
DWARF creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's
peak heap usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.
On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce
objtool's peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.
These changes also improve the runtime significantly.
Debuggability improvements:
- Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
debugging output
- Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
- Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
- Include backtrace in verbose mode
- Detect missing __noreturn annotations
- Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
- Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
- Move noreturn function list to separate file
- Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns
Unwinder improvements:
- Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
- drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber
Cleanups:
- Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
- x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
- Remove unnecessary/unused variables
Fixes for modern stack canary handling"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
