objtool: Warn on stripped section symbol

2018-01-30T14:09:23Z

With the following fix: 2a0098d70640 ("objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker") ... a seg fault was avoided, but the original seg fault condition in objtool wasn't fixed. Replace the seg fault with an error message.

objtool: Fix seg fault with clang-compiled objects

2017-12-30T21:04:17Z

Fix a seg fault which happens when an input file provided to 'objtool orc generate' doesn't have a '.shstrtab' section (for instance, object files produced by clang don't have this section).

objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation

2017-07-18T08:57:43Z

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.
