kbuild,objtool: Defer objtool validation step for CONFIG_KLP_BUILD
In preparation for klp-build, defer objtool validation for CONFIG_KLP_BUILD kernels until the final pre-link archive (e.g., vmlinux.o, module-foo.o) is built. This will simplify the process of generating livepatch modules. Delayed objtool is generally preferred anyway, and is already standard for IBT and LTO. Eventually the per-translation-unit mode will be phased out. Acked-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Tested-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
