Subject: objtool: Fix IRET's opcode
From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b5b46c4740aed1538544f0fa849c5b76c7823469 ]
The IRET opcode is 0xcf according to the Intel manual and also to objdump of my
vmlinux:
1ea8: 48 cf iretq
Fix the opcode in arch_decode_instruction().
The previous value (0xc5) seems to correspond to LDS.
