Subject: [PATCH 0/3] objtool: GCC 8 support

Now that GCC 8 is out, several people have complained about a bunch of
objtool warnings.  These patches fix all known warnings.

Patch 1 is a repost of a previous fix -- unrelated to GCC 8, but a
prereq for the following two patches.

Patch 2 fixes the vast majority of the warnings, caused by GCC 8's new
usage of "cold" subfunctions for unlikely text.

Patch 3 fixes a few more warnings, related to switch tables.

Josh Poimboeuf (3):
  objtool: Fix "noreturn" detection for recursive sibling calls
  objtool: Support GCC 8 cold subfunctions
  objtool: Support GCC 8 switch tables
