Not sure what this one's about, there's no OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD?

Ditto.

Ditto.

We'll need to look at how to handle this one.

I can clean off my patches for all the crypto warnings.

Is this with upstream?  I thought we fixed that with
UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET.

One way or another, the patches need to be free of warnings before
getting merged.  I can help, though I'm traveling and only have limited
bandwidth for at least the rest of the month.

Ideally we'd want to have objtool understand everything, with no
whitelisting, but some cases (e.g. suspend code) can be tricky.

I wouldn't be opposed to embedding the whitelist in the binary, in a
discardable section.  It should be relatively easy, but as I mentioned I
may or may not have time to work on it for a bit.  I'm working half
days, and now the ocean beckons from the window of my camper.
