Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] objtool: altinstructions fix and cleanup

Hi Josh,

Here's an updated patchset with suggestions from the initial post.

For the second patch, I assumed that the two values were intended to be
synonymous, so it was effectively a big s/sec->len/sec->sh_size.

v2:
- drop the sec->len update from the first patch [josh]
- rip out sec->len as suggested [josh]

Joe Lawrence (2):
  objtool: make .altinstructions section entry size consistent
  objtool: remove redundant len value from struct section
