Subject: [GIT PULL] clang-lto (part 2) for v5.12-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull this Clang LTO x86 enablement series for v5.12-rc1. Full
disclosure: while this has _not_ been in linux-next (since it initially
looked like the objtool dependencies weren't going to make v5.12), it
has been under daily build and runtime testing by Sami for quite some
time. These x86 portions have been discussed[1] on lkml, with Peter,
Josh, and others helping nail things down[2].

The bulk of the changes are to get objtool working happily. The rest of
the x86 enablement is very small.

Thanks!

-Kees
