Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.
However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.
As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.
Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.
Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.

Some asm (and inline asm) code does special things to the stack which
objtool can't understand. (Nor can GCC or GNU assembler, for that
matter.) In such cases we need a facility for the code to provide
annotations, so the unwinder can unwind through it.
This provides such a facility, in the form of unwind hints. They're
similar to the GNU assembler .cfi* directives, but they give more
information, and are needed in far fewer places, because objtool can
fill in the blanks by following branches and adjusting the stack pointer
for pushes and pops.

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.

This is a major rewrite of objtool. Instead of only tracking frame
pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including
all register saves/restores.
In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the
way for undwarf generation.

In preparation for the new 'objtool undwarf generate' command, which
will rely on 'objtool check', move the checking code from
builtin-check.c to check.c where it can be used by other commands.
