Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - Comprehensive interface overhaul: ================================= Objtool's interface has some issues: - Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features to other arches. - The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several other features independent of that. - The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options. The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object file". - The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have surprising behavior. Overhaul the interface: - get rid of subcmds - make all features individually selectable - remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options - update the documentation - fix some bugs found along the way - Fix x32 regression - Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs - Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single function from an object file. - Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on 'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple sections well, which can result in decoding failure. - Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt. object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the way. * tag 'objtool-core-2022-05-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) objtool: Fix objtool regression on x32 systems objtool: Fix symbol creation scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures scripts: Create objdump-func helper script objtool: Remove libsubcmd.a when make clean objtool: Remove inat-tables.c when make clean objtool: Update documentation objtool: Remove --lto and --vmlinux in favor of --link objtool: Add HAVE_NOINSTR_VALIDATION objtool: Rename "VMLINUX_VALIDATION" -> "NOINSTR_VALIDATION" objtool: Make noinstr hacks optional objtool: Make jump label hack optional objtool: Make static call annotation optional objtool: Make stack validation frame-pointer-specific objtool: Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL objtool: Extricate sls from stack validation objtool: Rework ibt and extricate from stack validation objtool: Make stack validation optional objtool: Add option to print section addresses objtool: Don't print parentheses in function addresses ...
