Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 3/9] dwarf: Build the kernel with DWARF information

From: [email-masked]
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 15:25:12 -0500

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <[email-masked]>

Define CONFIG_DWARF_FP - to include DWARF based FP validation code.
Define CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION - to enable DWARF based FP validation.

When these configs are enabled, invoke objtool on relocatable files during
the kernel build with the following command:

	objtool dwarf generate <object-file>

Objtool creates the following sections in each object file:

.dwarf_rules	Array of DWARF rules
.dwarf_pcs	Array of PCs, one-to-one with rules

In the future, the kernel can use these sections to find the rules for a
given instruction address. The unwinder can then compute the FP at an
instruction address and validate the actual FP with that.

NOTE: CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION needs to be turned on here. Otherwise, objtool
will not be invoked during the kernel build process. The actual stack
validation code will be added separately. This is harmless.
