Quoting Julien:
"And the other suggestion is my other email was that you don't even
need to add INSN_EXCEPTION_RETURN. You can keep IRET as
INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH by default and x86 decoder lookups the symbol
conaining an iret. If it's a function symbol, it can just set the type
to INSN_OTHER so that it caries on to the next instruction after
having handled the stack_op."

When doing kbuild tests to see if the objtool changes affected those I
found that there was a measurable regression:
pre post
real 1m13.594 1m16.488s
user 34m58.246s 35m23.947s
sys 4m0.393s 4m27.312s
Perf showed that for small files the increased hash-table sizes were a
measurable difference. Since we already have -l "vmlinux" to
distinguish between the modes, make it also use a smaller portion of
the hash-tables.
This flips it into a small win:
real 1m14.143s
user 34m49.292s
sys 3m44.746s

Sometimes, WARN_FUNC() and other users of symbol_by_offset() will
associate the first instruction of a symbol with the symbol preceding
it. This is because symbol->offset + symbol->len is already outside of
the symbol's range.

Perf shows there is significant time in find_rela_by_dest(); this is
because we have to iterate the address space per byte, looking for
relocation entries.
Optimize this by reducing the address space granularity.
This reduces objtool on vmlinux.o runtime from 4.8 to 4.4 seconds.

Perf showed that __hash_init() is a significant portion of
read_sections(), so instead of doing a per section rela_hash, use an
elf-wide rela_hash.
Statistics show us there are about 1.1 million relas, so size it
accordingly.
This reduces the objtool on vmlinux.o runtime to a third, from 15 to 5
seconds.

The symbol index is object wide, not per section, so it makes no sense
to have the symbol_hash be part of the section object. By moving it to
the elf object we avoid the linear sections iteration.
This reduces the runtime of objtool on vmlinux.o from over 3 hours (I
gave up) to a few minutes. The defconfig vmlinux.o has around 20k
sections.

Function aliases result in different symbols for the same set of
instructions; track a canonical symbol so there is a unique point of
access.
This again prepares the way for function attributes. And in particular
the need for aliases comes from how KASAN uses them.

Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as
read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects
the result of find_symbol_by_name(). In the case where a ".cold"
function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a
function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function
length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a
segfault in add_switch_table(). The effects of this bug are only
visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS.
Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.
