Teach objtool a little more about IRET so that we can avoid using the SAVE/RESTORE annotation. In particular, make the weird corner case in insn->restore go away. The purpose of that corner case is to deal with the fact that UNWIND_HINT_RESTORE lands on the instruction after IRET, but that instruction can end up being outside the basic block, consider: if (cond) sync_core() foo(); Then the hint will land on foo(), and we'll encounter the restore hint without ever having seen the save hint. By teaching objtool about the arch specific exception frame size, and assuming that any IRET in an STT_FUNC symbol is an exception frame sized POP, we can remove the use of save/restore hints for this code.

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.
