Recreating objtool errors can be a manual process. Kbuild removes the object, so it has to be compiled or linked again before running objtool. Then the objtool args need to be reversed engineered. Make that all easier by automatically making a backup of the object file on error, and print a modified version of the args which can be used to recreate.

Add option to allow writing the changed binary to a separate file rather than changing it in place. Libelf makes this suprisingly hard, so take the easy way out and just copy the file before editing it. Also steal the -o short option from --orc.

If objtool runs into a problem that causes it to exit early, the overall
tool still returns a status code of 0, which causes the build to
continue as if nothing went wrong.
Note this only affects early errors, as later errors are still ignored
by check().

Objtool has a fairly singular focus. It runs on object files and does validations and transformations which can be combined in various ways. The subcommand model has never been a good fit, making it awkward to combine and remove options. Remove the "check" and "orc" subcommands in favor of a more traditional cmdline option model. This makes it much more flexible to use, and easier to port individual features to other arches.

Split the existing options into two groups: actions, which actually do something; and options, which modify the actions in some way. Also there's no need to have short flags for all the non-action options. Reserve short flags for the more important actions. While at it: - change a few of the short flags to be more intuitive - make option descriptions more consistently descriptive - sort options in the source like they are when printed - move options to a global struct Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/9dcaa752f83aca24b1b21f0b0eeb28a0c181c0b0.1650300597.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com
