Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)

   Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
   livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.

   This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
   project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
   generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
   complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
   years of maintaining kpatch.

   Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:

    - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
      graph analysis to help detect changed functions.

    - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
      compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.

    - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.

    - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.

    - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
      symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.

    - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
      caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
      script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
      preserve the original line numbers at compile time.

 - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
   (Alexandre Chartre)

 - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
   which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
   specials such as alternatives:

   .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT
        example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above):

      2faaf:  start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f                                    jne    0x2fba4 <start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x114>
