Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molar:
 "Build footprint &amp; 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"

When creating an annotation section, allocate the reloc section data at
the beginning.  This simplifies the data model a bit and also saves
memory due to the removal of malloc() in elf_rebuild_reloc_section().

With allyesconfig + CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:

- Before: peak heap memory consumption: 53.49G
- After:  peak heap memory consumption: 49.02G

<title>x86/alternative: Support relocations in alternatives</title>

A little while ago someone (Kirill) ran into the whole 'alternatives don't
do relocations nonsense' again and I got annoyed enough to actually look
at the code.

Since the whole alternative machinery already fully decodes the
instructions it is simple enough to adjust immediates and displacement
when needed. Specifically, the immediates for IP modifying instructions
(JMP, CALL, Jcc) and the displacement for RIP-relative instructions.

  [ bp: Massage comment some more and get rid of third loop in
    apply_relocation(). ]

In preparation to changing struct instruction around a bit, avoid
passing it's members by pointer and instead pass the whole thing.

A cleanup in it's own right too.

<title>x86/alternatives: Add alt_instr.flags</title>

<id>5d1dd961e74334a2178264193ea813d44ce5e725</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a struct alt_instr.flags field which will contain different flags
controlling alternatives patching behavior.

The initial idea was to be able to specify it as a separate macro
parameter but that would mean touching all possible invocations of the
alternatives macros and thus a lot of churn.

What is more, as PeterZ suggested, being able to say ALT_NOT(feature) is
very readable and explains exactly what is meant.

So make the feature field a u32 where the patching flags are the upper
u16 part of the dword quantity while the lower u16 word is the feature.

The highest feature number currently is 0x26a (i.e., word 19) so there
is plenty of space. If that becomes insufficient, the field can be
extended to u64 which will then make struct alt_instr of the nice size
of 16 bytes (14 bytes currently).

There should be no functional changes resulting from this.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system
   scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details

 - Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations

 - Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the
   writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU

 - Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2
   ABI

 - Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S

 - Many other small features and fixes
