Merge tag 'objtool-core-2023-06-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molar:
 "Build footprint & performance improvements:

   - Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

     In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel,
     DWARF creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's
     peak heap usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.

     On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce
     objtool's peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.

     These changes also improve the runtime significantly.

  Debuggability improvements:

   - Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
     debugging output
   - Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
   - Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
   - Include backtrace in verbose mode
   - Detect missing __noreturn annotations
   - Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
   - Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
   - Move noreturn function list to separate file
   - Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns

  Unwinder improvements:

   - Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
   - drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber

  Cleanups:

   - Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
   - x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
   - Remove unnecessary/unused variables

  Fixes for modern stack canary handling"
