Randy reported a false-positive:
arch/x86/hyperv/hv_apic.o: warning: objtool: hv_apic_write()+0x25: alternative modifies stack
What happens is that:
alternative_io("movl %0, %P1", "xchgl %0, %P1", X86_BUG_11AP,
13d: 89 9d 00 d0 7f ff mov %ebx,-0x803000(%rbp)
decodes to an instruction with CFI-ops because it modifies RBP.
However, due to this being a !frame-pointer build, that should not in
fact change the CFI state.
So instead of dis-allowing any CFI-op, verify the op would've actually
changed the CFI state.
Fixes: 7117f16bf4 ("objtool: Fix ORC vs alternatives")

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.
