objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include <bfd.h> Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>.

+To update to the newer version of the Unicode standard, the latest
+released version of the UCD can be found here:
+
+ http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/
+
+Then, build under fs/unicode/ with REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1:
+
+ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/
+
+After sanity checking the newly generated utf8data.c file (the
+version generated from the 12.1.0 UCD should be 4,109 lines long, and
+have a total size of 324k) and/or comparing it with the older version
+of utf8data.c_shipped, rename it to utf8data.c_shipped.
+
+If you are a kernel developer updating to a newer version of the
+Unicode Character Database, please update this README.utf8data file
+with the version of the UCD that was used, the md5sum and sha1sums of
+the *.txt files, before checking in the new versions of the utf8data.c
+and README.utf8data files.
