parallel make broken with ORC unwinder

[Vegard Nossum]

Hi,

When I run make -j64 on a v4.14 kernel or newer with ORC_UNWINDER=y
the kernel build breaks like this:

$ make -j64
  CHK     include/config/kernel.release
  CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
  DESCEND  objtool
  CC      scripts/mod/empty.o

data to file

Segmentation fault
make[2]: *** [drivers/atm/uPD98402.o] Error 139
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

With FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER=y everything seems to work fine.

A bisect points to:

ee9f8fce99640811b2b8e79d0d1dbe8bab69ba67 is the first bad commit

    x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder

grepping for smack_lsm.o in the build log gives the following output:

This line looks suspicious:

   ./tools/objtool/objtool orc generate --no-fp  "security/smack/smack_lsm.o";

Is it really rewriting the file in place? That seems quite buggy to me.
