The existing UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY annotations happen to be good indicators
of where entry code calls into C code for the first time.  So also use
them to mark the end of the stack for the ORC unwinder.

Use that information to set unwind-&gt;error if the ORC unwinder doesn't
unwind all the way to the end.  This will be needed for enabling
HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE for the ORC unwinder so we can use it with the
livepatch consistency model.

Thanks to Jiri Slaby for teaching the ORCs about the unwind hints.

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.

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).

<title>objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation</title>

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.
