Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction
in them. That's because it assumed that such functions know what
they're doing with respect to frame pointers.
With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions,
and started complaining about them:
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function
Silence those warnings for now. They can be re-enabled later, once we
have unwind hints which will allow the code to annotate the IRET usages.

This is a major rewrite of objtool. Instead of only tracking frame
pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including
all register saves/restores.
In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the
way for undwarf generation.

In preparation for the new 'objtool undwarf generate' command, which
will rely on 'objtool check', move the checking code from
builtin-check.c to check.c where it can be used by other commands.
