From 6af5187229c3acb6956484634a80b69e149aa3d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 063/102] objtool: Allow alternatives to be ignored

commit 258c76059cece01bebae098e81bacb1af2edad17 upstream.

Getting objtool to understand retpolines is going to be a bit of a
challenge.  For now, take advantage of the fact that retpolines are
patched in with alternatives.  Just read the original (sane)
non-alternative instruction, and ignore the patched-in retpoline.

This allows objtool to understand the control flow *around* the
retpoline, even if it can't yet follow what's inside.  This means the
ORC unwinder will fail to unwind from inside a retpoline, but will work
fine otherwise.
