Merge tag 'objtool_urgent_for_v5.11_rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull objtool fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Adjust objtool to handle a recent binutils change to not generate
unused symbols anymore.
- Revert the fail-the-build-on-fatal-errors objtool strategy for now
due to the ever-increasing matrix of supported toolchains/plugins and
them causing too many such fatal errors currently.
- Do not add empty symbols to objdump's rbtree to accommodate clang
removing section symbols.
* tag 'objtool_urgent_for_v5.11_rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
objtool: Don't fail on missing symbol table
objtool: Don't fail the kernel build on fatal errors
objtool: Don't add empty symbols to the rbtree
