Subject[PATCH 4.14 34/89] objtool: Improve error message for bad file argument
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

commit 385d11b152c4eb638eeb769edcb3249533bb9a00 upstream.

If a nonexistent file is supplied to objtool, it complains with a
non-helpful error:

open: No such file or directory

Improve it to:

objtool: Can't open 'foo': No such file or directory
