Subject: tools/objtool/Makefile: don't assume sync-check.sh is executable
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0f908ccbeca99ddf0ad60afa710e72aded4a5ea7 upstream.
patch(1) loses the x bit. So if a user follows our patching
instructions in Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst, their kernel will
not compile.
Fixes: 3bd51c5a371de ("objtool: Move kernel headers/code sync check to a script")
