Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull objtool fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"A handful of objtool fixes: two improvements to how warnings are
printed plus a false positive warning fix, and build environment fix"
* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
objtool: Fix Makefile to properly see if libelf is supported
objtool: Detect falling through to the next function
objtool: Add workaround for GCC switch jump table bug

Errors in .c files ------------------ -If you're getting an objtool error in a compiled .c file, chances are -the file uses an asm() statement which has a "call" instruction.
