Josh Poimboeuf 8852c55240 kbuild: Fix objtool dependency for 'OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_<obj> := n'
"OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_vma.o := n" has a dependency bug.  When
objtool source is updated, the affected object doesn't get re-analyzed
by objtool.

Peter's new variable-sized jump label feature relies on objtool
rewriting the object file.  Otherwise the system can fail to boot.  That
effectively upgrades this minor dependency issue to a major bug.

The problem is that variables in prerequisites are expanded early,
during the read-in phase.  The '$(objtool_dep)' variable indirectly uses
'$@', which isn't yet available when the target prerequisites are
evaluated.

Use '.SECONDEXPANSION:' which causes '$(objtool_dep)' to be expanded in
a later phase, after the target-specific '$@' variable has been defined.

Fixes: b9ab5ebb14 ("objtool: Add CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option")
Fixes: ab3257042c ("jump_label, x86: Allow short NOPs")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
