Pull objtool fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"Three fixes from Peter Zijlstra suppressing KCOV instrumentation in
noinstr sections.
Peter Zijlstra says:
"Address KCOV vs noinstr. There is no function attribute to
selectively suppress KCOV instrumentation, instead teach objtool
to NOP out the calls in noinstr functions"
This cures a bunch of KCOV crashes (as used by syzcaller)"
* tag 'objtool_urgent_for_5.8_rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
objtool: Fix noinstr vs KCOV
objtool: Provide elf_write_{insn,reloc}()
objtool: Clean up elf_write() condition
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.
