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" * tag 'x86_entry_for_v5.11_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/entry: Remove put_ret_addr_in_rdi THUNK macro argument x86/entry: Emit a symbol for register restoring thunk
