Note, this problem is showing up in the 6.1.y branch right now, due to
one objtool patch not being able to be backported there easily (i.e. I
tried and gave up.)

4ae68b26c3ab ("objtool/x86: Fix SRSO mess") being the commit that I
can't seem to get to work properly, my attempt can be seen here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/2023082212-pregnant-lizard-80e0@gregkh

Just a heads up as this will start to affect users of the next 6.1.y
release, and probably older releases, as they are taking portions of the
"fixes for fixes" but not the above mentioned one.

thanks,
