Josh Poimboeuf c705cecc84 objtool: Track original function across branches
If 'insn->func' is NULL, objtool skips some important checks, including
sibling call validation.  So if some .fixup code does an invalid sibling
call, objtool ignores it.

Treat all code branches (including alts) as part of the original
function by keeping track of the original func value from
validate_functions().

This improves the usefulness of some clang function fallthrough
warnings, and exposes some additional kernel bugs in the process.

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.
