Linus Torvalds a6640c8c2f Objtool changes for v6.14:
- Introduce the generic section-based annotation
    infrastructure a.k.a. ASM_ANNOTATE/ANNOTATE (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Convert various facilities to ASM_ANNOTATE/ANNOTATE: (Peter Zijlstra)
 
     - ANNOTATE_NOENDBR
     - ANNOTATE_RETPOLINE_SAFE
     - instrumentation_{begin,end}()
     - VALIDATE_UNRET_BEGIN
     - ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE
     - ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL
     - {.UN}REACHABLE
 
  - Optimize the annotation-sections parsing code (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Centralize annotation definitions in <linux/objtool.h>
 
  - Unify & simplify the barrier_before_unreachable()/unreachable()
    definitions (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Convert unreachable() calls to BUG() in x86 code, as
    unreachable() has unreliable code generation (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Remove annotate_reachable() and annotate_unreachable(), as it's
    unreliable against compiler optimizations (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Fix non-standard ANNOTATE_REACHABLE annotation order (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Robustify the annotation code by warning about unknown annotation
    types (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Allow arch code to discover jump table size, in preparation of
    annotated jump table support (Ard Biesheuvel)

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 reStructuredText 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.
