Based on tip/objtool/core + the following fixes:

- https://lore.kernel.org/cover.1786138493.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
- https://lore.kernel.org/ed4fe1f95071897859ec7fbe9176246cbd4962bf.1786138806.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
- https://lore.kernel.org/1b5ccfa8095bdb1277f84af1c2c2e2205aca03ae.1785992188.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org

The full set (including the above fixes) can be found on the following branch:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jpoimboe/linux.git klp-build-arm64

v4:
- Replace "objtool: Allow empty alternatives" with "arm64: Remove unnecessary empty alternatives" [Peter]
- Add "objtool/klp: Fix .kcfi_traps special section extraction" [Joe]
- Fix vmlinux.o objtool options leaking in from Makefile.lib [Sashiko]
- Tighten jump-to-end-of-function check [Sashiko]
- Drop unneeded linux/kconfig.h include [Sashiko]
- Fix bisectability issue with is_mapping_sym()/is_data_mapping_sym() [Sashiko]
- Add missing ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() to arm64 syscall macro [Sashiko]

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/cover.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
- Too many changes to list.  Did a lot of testing and fixed a bunch of
  issues (many of which have already been merged in tip/objtool/core).

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/cover.1773787568.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
- patches 1-2 were merged, rebase on tip/master
- improve commit message for "objtool: Extricate checksum calculation from validate_branch()"
- add review tags

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/cover.1772681234.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org

Port objtool and the klp-build tooling (for building livepatch modules)
to arm64.

Note this doesn't bring all the objtool bells and whistles to arm64, nor
any of the CFG reverse engineering.  This only adds the bare minimum
needed for 'objtool --checksum'.

And note that objtool still doesn't get enabled at all for normal arm64
kernel builds, so this doesn't affect any users other than those running
klp-build directly.

Josh Poimboeuf (22):
