objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation

Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each
instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder
to use.

Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is
more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder.  See
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.

 Why do we need stack metadata validation?
 -----------------------------------------
@@ -93,37 +94,14 @@ a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels
        or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
        destroyed.  This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.
 
-b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels
-
-   (NOTE: This is not yet implemented)
-
-   As an alternative to frame pointers, DWARF Call Frame Information
-   (CFI) metadata can be used to walk the stack.  Unlike frame pointers,
-   CFI metadata is out of band.  So it doesn't affect runtime
-   performance and it can be reliable even when interrupts or exceptions
-   are involved.
-
-   For C code, gcc automatically generates DWARF CFI metadata.  But for
-   asm code, generating CFI is a tedious manual approach which requires
-   manually placed .cfi assembler macros to be scattered throughout the
-   code.  It's clumsy and very easy to get wrong, and it makes the real
-   code harder to read.
-
-   Stacktool will improve this situation in several ways.  For code
-   which already has CFI annotations, it will validate them.  For code
-   which doesn't have CFI annotations, it will generate them.  So an
-   architecture can opt to strip out all the manual .cfi annotations
-   from their asm code and have objtool generate them instead.
+b) ORC (Oops Rewind Capability) unwind table generation
 
-   We might also add a runtime stack validation debug option where we
-   periodically walk the stack from schedule() and/or an NMI to ensure
-   that the stack metadata is sane and that we reach the bottom of the
-   stack.
+   An alternative to frame pointers and DWARF, ORC unwind data can be
+   used to walk the stack.  Unlike frame pointers, ORC data is out of
+   band.  So it doesn't affect runtime performance and it can be
+   reliable even when interrupts or exceptions are involved.
 
-   So the benefit of objtool here will be that external tooling should
-   always show perfect stack traces.  And the same will be true for
-   kernel warning/oops traces if the architecture has a runtime DWARF
-   unwinder.
