That makes little sense. It's not an unusual merge conflict.
Peter's endbr series conflict with Masami's fprobe.
Peter has a trivial patch that fixes objtool warning.
The question is how to land that patch.
I think the best is for Linus to apply it after bpf-next->net-next gets
merged.

We're preparing bpf-next PR right now.
