You can reproduce all of these using a normal gcc build without any of
the LTO patches by running objtool check -arfld vmlinux.o. However,
with gcc you'll see even more warnings due to duplicate symbol names,
as Peter pointed out elsewhere in the thread, so I looked at only the
warnings that objtool also prints with LTO.

Note that the LTO series contains a patch to split noinstr validation
from --vmlinux, as we need to run objtool here even if
CONFIG_VMLINUX_VALIDATION isn't selected, so I have not looked at the
noinstr warnings. The latest LTO tree is available here:

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
