[PATCH 08/22] objtool: Properly disable uaccess validation
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Mon Mar 24 2025 - 17:57:33 EST
If opts.uaccess isn't set, the uaccess validation is disabled, but only
partially: it doesn't read the uaccess_safe_builtin list but still tries
to do the validation. Disable it completely to prevent false warnings.
