I see occasional randconfig builds failing on x86 with clang-11 and clang-12 when objtool crashes with a segmentation fault.
The simplest test case I managed to create is
$ echo "__SCK__tp_func_cdev_update() { __SCT__tp_func_cdev_update(); }" > file.c
$ clang-12 -c file.c -O2 -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables
$ ./tools/objtool/objtool orc generate file.o
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ clang-12 -S file.c -O2 -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -o-

The behavior seems to depend on the specific symbol names, and it only happens
for the integrated assembler, not the GNU assembler.
Attaching both .o files for reference.
