clang/objtool failures on linux-next

I came across two randconfig builds on linux-next that fail to build:
==> build/x86/0xCE0DD5F4_defconfig/log <==
drivers/input/misc/uinput.o: warning: objtool: uinput_str_to_user+0x165: undefined stack state
drivers/input/misc/uinput.o: warning: objtool: uinput_str_to_user+0x165: unknown CFA base reg -1
==> build/x86/0xAE77DEF6_defconfig/log <==
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.o: error: SIGSEGV: objtool stack overflow!
Segmentation fault
The first one happens with clang-18 through clang-22, the second one
with all versions of clang.
The crash seems worse at first, but I also noticed that
clang takes a long time to actually compile it, and the object
file is huge, so this is probably partially a compiler problem.
Please have a look at the attached object files along the configs
I used.
