Linus,

   # HEAD: 301cf77e21317b3465c5e2bb0188df24bbf1c2e2 x86/orc: Make the is_callthunk() definition depend on CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y

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

 Thanks,

	Ingo
