4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0c671812f152b628bd87c0af49da032cc2a2c319 upstream.
Objtool uses over 512k of stack, thanks to the hash table embedded in
the objtool_file struct. This causes an unnecessarily large stack
allocation and breaks users with low stack limits.
Move the struct off the stack.
Fixes: 042ba73fe7eb ("objtool: Add several performance improvements")
