Linus,

please pull the latest objtool/urgent branch from:

up to: 2e4be0d011f2: x86/show_trace_log_lvl: Ensure stack pointer is aligned, again


A set of unwinder and tooling fixes:

- Ensure that the stack pointer on x86 is aligned again so that the
unwinder does not read past the end of the stack

- Discard .note.gnu.property section which has a pointlessly different
alignment than the other note sections. That confuses tooling of all
sorts including readelf, libbpf and pahole.

Thanks,

tglx
