[RFC PATCH v2 17/20] arm64: Build the kernel with ORC information

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka at linux.microsoft.com>

Define CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC - to include ORC lookup code in the kernel.
Define CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_VALIDATION - to enable ORC based FP validation.
Select CONFIG_HAVE_STACK_VALIDATION if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_VALIDATION is
       present.

Add code to scripts/Makefile.build to define objtool options to generate
ORC data for frame pointer validation.

When these configs are enabled, CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION can be enabled.
When that is done, invoke objtool on relocatable files during the kernel
build with the following command:

	objtool fpv generate <object-file>

Objtool creates special sections in the object files:

.orc_unwind_ip	PC array.
.orc_unwind	ORC structure table.
.orc_lookup	ORC lookup table.

Change arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to include ORC_UNWIND_TABLE in
the data section so that the special sections get included there. For
modules, these sections will be added to the kernel during module load.

In the future, the kernel can use these sections to find the ORC 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.
