Peter Zijlstra dbcdbdfdf1 objtool: Rework instruction -> symbol mapping
Currently insn->func contains a instruction -> symbol link for
STT_FUNC symbols. A NULL value is assumed to mean STT_NOTYPE.
However, there are also instructions not covered by any symbol at all.
This can happen due to __weak symbols for example.

Since the current scheme cannot differentiate between no symbol and
STT_NOTYPE symbol, change things around. Make insn->sym point to any
symbol type such that !insn->sym means no symbol and add a helper
insn_func() that check the sym->type to retain the old functionality.

This then prepares the way to add code that depends on the distinction
between STT_NOTYPE and no symbol at all.

README

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.
