Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Comprehensive interface overhaul:
   =================================

   Objtool's interface has some issues:

     - Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to
       turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes
       objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features
       to other arches.

     - The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool
       enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several
       other features independent of that.

     - The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is
       really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options.

       The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only
       has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object
       file".

     - The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have
       surprising behavior.

   Overhaul the interface:

      - get rid of subcmds

      - make all features individually selectable

      - remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options

      - update the documentation

      - fix some bugs found along the way

 - Fix x32 regression

 - Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs

 - Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single
   function from an object file.

 - Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on
   'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple
   sections well, which can result in decoding failure.

 - Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt.
   object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but
   possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the
   way.
