With the following fix:
2a0098d706 ("objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker")
... a seg fault was avoided, but the original seg fault condition in
objtool wasn't fixed. Replace the seg fault with an error message.

Fix a seg fault which happens when an input file provided to 'objtool
orc generate' doesn't have a '.shstrtab' section (for instance, object
files produced by clang don't have this section).

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.
