    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull objtool updates from Thomas Gleixner:
    
     - Improve retpoline code patching by separating it from alternatives
       which reduces memory footprint and allows to do better optimizations
       in the actual runtime patching.
    
     - Add proper retpoline support for x86/BPF
    
     - Address noinstr warnings in x86/kvm, lockdep and paravirtualization
       code
    
     - Add support to handle pv_opsindirect calls in the noinstr analysis
    
     - Classify symbols upfront and cache the result to avoid redundant
       str*cmp() invocations.
    
     - Add a CFI hash to reduce memory consumption which also reduces
       runtime on a allyesconfig by ~50%
    
     - Adjust XEN code to make objtool handling more robust and as a side
       effect to prevent text fragmentation due to placement of the
       hypercall page.
