431dbabf2d objtool: Add elf_create_data()
In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, refactor
elf_add_string() by adding a new elf_add_data() helper which allows the
adding of arbitrary data to a section.

Make both interfaces global so they can be used by the upcoming klp diff
code.

2b91479776 objtool: Resurrect --backup option
The --backup option was removed with the following commit:

  aa8b3e64fd ("objtool: Create backup on error and print args")

... which tied the backup functionality to --verbose, and only for
warnings/errors.

It's a bit inelegant and out of scope to tie that to --verbose.

Bring back the old --backup option, but with the new behavior: only on
warnings/errors, and print the args to make it easier to recreate.

4cdee7888f objtool: Fix "unexpected end of section" warning for alternatives
Due to the short circuiting logic in next_insn_to_validate(), control
flow may silently transition from .altinstr_replacement to .text without
a corresponding nested call to validate_branch().

As a result the validate_branch() 'sec' variable doesn't get
reinitialized, which can trigger a confusing "unexpected end of section"
warning which blames .altinstr_replacement rather than the offending
fallthrough function.

Fix that by not caching the section.  There's no point in doing that
anyway.

3049fc4b5f x86/alternative: Refactor INT3 call emulation selftest

Also, the int3_selftest_ip() symbol overlaps with the int3_selftest

1ba9f89794 vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros
TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN and friends are defined differently depending on
whether certain config options enable -ffunction-sections and/or
-fdata-sections.

There's no technical reason for that beyond voodoo coding.  Keeping the
separate implementations adds unnecessary complexity, fragments the
logic, and increases the risk of subtle bugs.

Unify the macros by using the same input section patterns across all
configs.

This is a prerequisite for the upcoming livepatch klp-build tooling
which will manually enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections via
KCFLAGS.

68e71067ec s390/vmlinux.lds.S: Prevent thunk functions from getting placed with normal text
The s390 indirect thunks are placed in the .text.__s390_indirect_jump_*
sections.

Certain config options which enable -ffunction-sections have a custom
version of the TEXT_TEXT macro:

  .text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*

That unintentionally matches the thunk sections, causing them to get
grouped with normal text rather than being handled by their intended
rule later in the script:

  *(.text.*_indirect_*)

Fix that by adding another period to the thunk section names, following
the kernel's general convention for distinguishing code-generated text
sections from compiler-generated ones.

ff5c046648 scripts/faddr2line: Fix "Argument list too long" error
The run_readelf() function reads the entire output of readelf into a
single shell variable. For large object files with extensive debug
information, the size of this variable can exceed the system's
command-line argument length limit.

When this variable is subsequently passed to sed via `echo "${out}"`, it
triggers an "Argument list too long" error, causing the script to fail.

Fix this by redirecting the output of readelf to a temporary file
instead of a variable. The sed commands are then modified to read from
this file, avoiding the argument length limitation entirely.

6b4679fcbf scripts/faddr2line: Use /usr/bin/env bash for portability
The shebang `#!/bin/bash` assumes a fixed path for the bash interpreter.
This path does not exist on some systems, such as NixOS, causing the
script to fail.

Replace `/bin/bash` with the more portable `#!/usr/bin/env bash`.

567f9c428f scripts/faddr2line: Set LANG=C to enforce ASCII output
Force tools like readelf to use the POSIX/C locale by exporting LANG=C
This ensures ASCII-only output and avoids locale-specific
characters(e.g., UTF-8 symbols or translated strings), which could
break text processing utilities like sed in the script

a808a2b35f tools build: Fix fixdep dependencies
The tools version of fixdep has broken dependencies.  It doesn't get
rebuilt if the host compiler or headers change.

Build fixdep with the tools kbuild infrastructure, so fixdep runs on
itself.  Due to the recursive dependency, its dependency file is
incomplete the very first time it gets built.  In that case build it a
second time to achieve fixdep inception.
