linux-next: manual merge of the tip tree with the powerpc-objtool tree

  Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in:

  tools/objtool/check.c

between commit:

  efb11fdb3e1a ("objtool: Fix SEGFAULT")

from the powerpc-objtool tree and commit:

  dbcdbdfdf137 ("objtool: Rework instruction -> symbol mapping")

from the tip tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

Maybe it would be better to perform the check of insn inside the new 
insn_func() then ?

I don't think it would.

Many of the other uses of insn_func() know that insn is not NULL,
because they've already checked it or have dereferenced some other
member of insn before the call. So in those cases checking it in
insn_func() would be redundant.

But ultimately up to the objtool maintainers.

cheers

This is now a conflict between the powerpc tree and Linus' tree.
