objtool: Detect falling through to the next function

There are several cases in compiled C code where a function may not
return at the end, and may instead fall through to the next function.

That may indicate a bug in the code, or a gcc bug, or even an objtool
bug.  But in each case, objtool reports an unhelpful warning, something
like:

  drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

Detect this situation and print a more useful error message:

  drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_host_fabric_name() falls through to next function qla2x00_get_starget_node_name()

Also add some information about this warning and its potential causes to
the documentation.

Errors in .c files
------------------
If you're getting an objtool error in a compiled .c file, chances are
the file uses an asm() statement which has a "call" instruction. An
asm() statement with a call instruction must declare the use of the
stack pointer in its output operand. For example, on x86_64:
1. c_file.o: warning: objtool: funcA() falls through to next function funcB()
register void *__sp asm("rsp");
asm volatile("call func" : "+r" (__sp));
This means that funcA() doesn't end with a return instruction or an
unconditional jump, and that objtool has determined that the function
can fall through into the next function. There could be different
reasons for this:
Otherwise the stack frame may not get created before the call.
1) funcA()'s last instruction is a call to a "noreturn" function like
panic(). In this case the noreturn function needs to be added to
objtool's hard-coded global_noreturns array. Feel free to bug the
objtool maintainer, or you can submit a patch.
Another possible cause for errors in C code is if the Makefile removes
-fno-omit-frame-pointer or adds -fomit-frame-pointer to the gcc options.
2) funcA() uses the unreachable() annotation in a section of code
that is actually reachable.
3) If funcA() calls an inline function, the object code for funcA()
might be corrupt due to a gcc bug. For more details, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70646
2. If you're getting any other objtool error in a compiled .c file, it
may be because the file uses an asm() statement which has a "call"
instruction. An asm() statement with a call instruction must declare
the use of the stack pointer in its output operand. For example, on
x86_64:
register void *__sp asm("rsp");
asm volatile("call func" : "+r" (__sp));
Otherwise the stack frame may not get created before the call.
3. Another possible cause for errors in C code is if the Makefile removes
-fno-omit-frame-pointer or adds -fomit-frame-pointer to the gcc options.
Also see the above section for .S file errors for more information what
the individual error messages mean.
