The inat-tables.c file has some arrays in it that contain pointers to
other arrays. These pointers need to be relocated when the kernel
image is moved to a different location.
The pre-decompression boot-code has no support for applying ELF
relocations, so initialize these arrays at runtime in the
pre-decompression code to make sure all pointers are correctly
initialized.

gawk 5.0.1 generates the following regexp warnings:
GEN /home/sasha/torvalds/tools/objtool/arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
awk: ../arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk:260: warning: regexp escape sequence `\:' is not a known regexp operator
awk: ../arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk:350: (FILENAME=../arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt FNR=41) warning: regexp escape sequence `\&' is not a known regexp operator
Ealier versions of gawk are not known to generate these warnings. The
gawk manual referenced below does not list characters ':' and '&' as
needing escaping, so 'unescape' them. See
https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Escape-Sequences.html
for more info.
Running diff on the output generated by the script before and after
applying the patch reported no differences.

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.
The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.
Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.
