It could indeed be useful for any other projects which have asm code. In fact the musl project has been trying to solve similar problems with their CFI generation awk script. It does have some kernel-isms related to the reading of special sections (.altinstructions, __jump_table, etc). But that should be harmless for non-kernel code and could easily be factored out with a compile-time or cmdline flag if needed. BTW, since I'm planning on adding a CFI generation option to this tool, I wonder if "stackvalidate" is a misnomer. I can't think of anything better.
