objtool: Add more robust signal error handling, detect and warn about stack overflows
When the kernel build fails due to an objtool segfault, the error message is a bit obtuse and confusing: make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:503: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.o] Error 139 ^^^^^^^^^ make[5]: *** Deleting file 'drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.o' make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:556: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx] Error 2 make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:556: drivers/scsi] Error 2 make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:556: drivers] Error 2 make[1]: *** [/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/Makefile:2013: .] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2 Add a signal handler to objtool which prints an error message like if the local stack has overflown (for which there's a chance as objtool makes heavy use of recursion): drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.o: error: SIGSEGV: objtool stack overflow! or: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.o: error: SIGSEGV: objtool crash! Also, re-raise the signal so the core dump still gets triggered.
