[PATCH v2 00/19] objtool: vmlinux.o and noinstr validation
From: Peter Zijlstra

Hi all,
Moar patches. This implements the proposed objtool validation for the
noinstr -- function attribute
instr_{begin,end}() -- annotation
Who's purpose is to annotate such code that has constraints on instrumentation
-- such as early exception code. Specifically it makes it very hard to
accidentally add code to such regions.
I've left the whole noinstr naming in place, we'll bike-shed on that later.
This should address all feedback from RFC/v1.
