Subject: Crash in -next due to 'objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other
 dead ends'

Hi,

my qemu tests for mips64 in -next fail as follows.

...
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 8:0.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 304K
This architecture does not have kernel memory protection.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a

There is no symbol traceback, and I don't see any other (obvious) error
message.  bisect points to commit 'objtool: Improve detection of BUG()
and other dead ends'; reverting that patch fixes the problem.
Bisect log is attached below.

The script used to run the test as well as the root file system is available
at https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/mips64

A complete log is available at
