Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

/*
|
|
* This is a lookup table for speeding up access to the .orc_unwind table.
|
|
* Given an input address offset, the corresponding lookup table entry
|
|
* specifies a subset of the .orc_unwind table to search.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each block represents the end of the previous range and the start of the
|
|
* next range. An extra block is added to give the last range an end.
|
|
*
|
|
* The block size should be a power of 2 to avoid a costly 'div' instruction.
|
|
*
|
|
* A block size of 256 was chosen because it roughly doubles unwinder
|
|
* performance while only adding ~5% to the ORC data footprint.
