Josh Poimboeuf fedb724c3d objtool: Detect missing __noreturn annotations
Most "unreachable instruction" warnings these days seem to actually be
the result of a missing __noreturn annotation.  Add an explicit check
for that.

Josh Poimboeuf ca653464dd objtool: Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
When a warning is associated with a function, add an option to
disassemble that function.

This makes it easier for reporters to submit the information needed to
diagnose objtool warnings.

Jonathan Corbet ff61f0791c docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/
Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.

All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

Michal Kubecek 03d7a1053c objtool: Check that module init/exit function is an indirect call target
Some out-of-tree modules still do not use module_init() / module_exit()
macros and simply create functions with magic names init_module() and
cleanup_module() instead. As a result, these functions are not recognized
as indirect call targets by objtool and such module fails to load into an
IBT enabled kernel.

This old way is not even documented any more but it is cleaner to issue
a warning than to let the module fail on load without obvious reason.

Josh Poimboeuf a8e35fece4 objtool: Update documentation
The objtool documentation is very stack validation centric.  Broaden the
documentation and describe all the features objtool supports.
