Subject: [GIT PULL] Objtool updates for v6.1

Linus,

Please pull the latest objtool/core git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git objtool-core-2022-10-07

   # HEAD: 7a7621dfa417aa3715d2a3bd1bdd6cf5018274d0 objtool,x86: Teach decode about LOOP* instructions

Fairly small batch of changes:

Objtool changes for v6.1:

 - Remove the "ANNOTATE_NOENDBR on ENDBR" warning: it's not
   really useful and only found a non-bug false positive so far.

 - Properly decode LOOP/LOOPE/LOOPNE, which were missing from
   the x86 decoder. Because these instructions are rather
   ineffective, they never showed up in compiler output,
   but they are simple enough to support, so add them for
   completeness.

 - A bit more cross-arch preparatory work.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
