Hi,

These patches change objtool to disassemble code with libopcodes instead
of running objdump. You will find below:

- Changes: list of changes made in this version
- Overview: overview of the changes
- Notes: description of some particular behavior
- Examples: output examples

Patches are now based on tip/master.

I am deferring the following changes to future patches:
- Josh: convert --disas option to subcommand
- David: provide branch distance for small branches

Git shows the following untracked files

tools/objtool/FEATURE-DUMP.objtool
tools/objtool/arch/x86/lib/
tools/objtool/feature/

so tools/objtool/.gitignore needs an update.

If you update .gitignore for the relevant patches, and fix the typos I
pointed out, I think we can go ahead and merge this thing.


Good. I will fix all that and resend.

Thanks,

alex.
