In order to allow using objtool on cross-built kernels, determine size of long from elf data instead of using sizeof(long) at build time. For the time being this covers only mcount. [Sathvika Vasireddy: Rename variable "size" to "addrsize" and function "elf_class_size()" to "elf_class_addrsize()", and modify create_mcount_loc_sections() function to follow reverse christmas tree format to order local variable declarations.] Tested-by: Naveen N.

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.
