Josh Poimboeuf b735bd3e68 objtool: Combine UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET and UNWIND_HINT_FUNC
The ORC metadata generated for UNWIND_HINT_FUNC isn't actually very
func-like.  With certain usages it can cause stack state mismatches
because it doesn't set the return address (CFI_RA).

Also, users of UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET no longer need to set a custom
return stack offset.  Instead they just need to specify a func-like
situation, so the current ret_offset code is hacky for no good reason.

Solve both problems by simplifying the RET_OFFSET handling and
converting it into a more useful UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

If we end up needing the old 'ret_offset' functionality again in the
future, we should be able to support it pretty easily with the addition
of a custom 'sp_offset' in UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

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.
