Merge branch 'core-objtool-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were the vmlinux.o optimizations by
   Peter Zijlstra, which are preparatory and optimization work to run
   objtool against the much richer vmlinux.o object file, to perform
   new, whole-program section based logic. That work exposed a handful
   of problems with the existing code, which fixes and optimizations are
   merged here. The complete 'vmlinux.o and noinstr' work is still work
   in progress, targeted for v5.8.

  There's also assorted fixes and enhancements from Josh Poimboeuf.

  In particular I'd like to draw attention to commit 644592d3,
  which turns fatal objtool errors into failed kernel builds. This
  behavior is IMO now justified on multiple grounds (it's easy currently
  to not notice an essentially corrupted kernel build), and the commit
  has been in -next testing for several weeks, but there could still be
  build failures with old or weird toolchains. Should that be widespread
  or high profile enough then I'd suggest a quick revert, to not hold up
  the merge window"
