Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Most of the changes are cleanups and reorganization to make the
objtool code more arch-agnostic. This is in preparation for non-x86
support.
Other changes:
- KASAN fixes
- Handle unreachable trap after call to noreturn functions better
- Ignore unreachable fake jumps
- Misc smaller fixes & cleanups"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
