This series adds UACCESS validation for PPC32. It includes half
a dozen of changes to objtool core.

It is almost mature, performs code analysis for all PPC32, only
missing marking of UACCESS enable/disable for book3s/32.

Most object files are correctly decoded, only a few
'unreachable instruction' warnings remain due to more complex
switch table cases:
- Loading of table address after the dynamic jump
- Nested switches

It allowed to detect some UACCESS mess in a few files. They've been
fixed through other patches.

Changes in v3:
- Rebased on top of a merge of powerpc tree and tip/objtool/core tree
- Simplified support for relative switch tables based on relocation type
- Taken comments from Peter

Christophe Leroy (15):
  powerpc/kuap: Avoid unnecessary reads of MD_AP
  powerpc/kuap: Avoid useless jump_label on empty function
  powerpc/kuap: Refactor static branch for disabling kuap
  powerpc/kuap: Make disabling KUAP at boottime impossible except on
    book3s/64
  powerpc/kuap: KUAP enabling/disabling functions must be
    __always_inline
  Revert "powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to
    WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto"
  objtool: Allow an architecture to disable objtool on ASM files
  objtool: Fix JUMP_ENTRY_SIZE for bi-arch like powerpc
  objtool: Add INSN_RETURN_CONDITIONAL
  objtool: Add support for relative switch tables
  objtool: Remove too strict constraint in jump table search
  objtool: Add support for more complex UACCESS control
  objtool: Prepare noreturns.h for more architectures
  powerpc/bug: Annotate reachable after warning trap
  powerpc: Implement UACCESS validation on PPC32
