Linus Torvalds 6f612579be 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
