[RFC PATCH v2 13/13] objtool: arm64: Enable stack validation for arm64

From: Julien Thierry
Date: Wed Mar 03 2021 - 13:56:13 EST


From: Raphael Gault <raphael.gault@xxxxxxx>

Add build option to run stack validation at compile time.

When requiring stack validation, jump tables are disabled as it
simplifies objtool analysis (without having to introduce unreliable
artifacs). In local testing, this does not appear to significaly
affect final binary size nor system performance.
