From: Ingo Molnar mingo@kernel.org Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 07:24:22 +0100 Subject: tools/headers: Sync objtool UAPI header

From: Ingo Molnar mingo@kernel.org

commit a356d2ae50790f49858ebed35da9e206336fafee upstream.

objtool grew this new warning:

Warning: synced file at 'tools/objtool/arch/x86/include/asm/inat.h' differs from latest kernel version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/inat.h'

which upstream header grew new INAT_SEG_* definitions.

Sync up the tooling version of the header.
