Linus,

# HEAD: 301cf77e21317b3465c5e2bb0188df24bbf1c2e2 x86/orc: Make the is_callthunk() definition depend on CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y

objtool changes for v6.5:

- Build footprint & performance improvements:

- Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel, DWARF
creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's peak heap
usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.

On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce objtool's
peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.

These changes also improve the runtime significantly.

- Debuggability improvements:

- Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
debugging output.
- Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
- Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
- Include backtrace in verbose mode
- Detect missing __noreturn annotations
- Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
- Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
- Move noreturn function list to separate file
- Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns

- Unwinder improvements:

- Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
- drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber

- Cleanups:

- Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
- x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
- Remove unnecessary/unused variables

- Fixes for modern stack canary handling

Thanks,

Ingo
