Subject: [PATCH 00/22] x86, objtool: several fixes/improvements

There have been a lot of objtool bug reports lately, mainly related to
Clang and BPF.  As part of fixing those bugs, I added some improvements
to objtool which uncovered yet more bugs (some kernel, some objtool).

I've given these patches a lot of testing with both GCC and Clang.  More
compile testing of objtool would be appreciated, as the kbuild test
robot doesn't seem to be paying much attention to my branches lately.

There are still at least three outstanding issues:

1) With clang I see:

     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x88: redundant UACCESS disable

   I haven't dug into it yet.

2) There's also an issue in clang where a large switch table had a bunch
   of unused (bad) entries.  It's not a code correctness issue, but
   hopefully it can get fixed in clang anyway.  See patch 20/22 for more
   details.

3) CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is causing some objtool "unreachable instruction"
   warnings due to the new -flive-patching flag.  I have some fixes
   pending, but this patch set is already long enough.
