Merge tag 'x86_entry_for_v5.11_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fix from Borislav Petkov:
"A single fix for objtool to generate proper unwind info for newer
toolchains which do not generate section symbols anymore. And a
cleanup ontop.
This was originally going to go during the next merge window but
people can already trigger a build error with binutils-2.36 which
doesn't emit section symbols - something which objtool relies on - so
let's expedite it"
