Kristen found a hang in objtool when building with -ffunction-sections. It was caused by evergreen_pcie_gen2_enable.cold() being laid out immediately before evergreen_pcie_gen2_enable(). Since their "pfunc" is always the same, find_jump_table() got into an infinite loop because it didn't recognize the boundary between the two functions. Fix that with a new prev_insn_same_sym() helper, which doesn't cross subfunction boundaries.

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 Restructured Text 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.
