[PATCH 02/58] objtool/klp: Check the klp test environment once, before any test

[Song Liu <song@kernel.org>]

Every test checked for itself that objtool exists, was built with klp
support, and that $CC runs.  Three problems with that: it is the same work
done 40 times, a missing objtool reads as a per-test skip rather than as a
suite which cannot run, and a run in which everything skipped still exits
0.

Do it once, before any test, in preflight.sh, and record the answers where
the tests can read them.  If the suite cannot run the whole run fails and
says why; a test which gets as far as running can assume its environment.

The recorded file is required, not optional: a test which cannot tell where
objtool is or which architecture it is on should say so rather than guess
at an empty value.  It also records which compiler it describes, so a
single test run by hand with a different CC after a full run cannot quietly
inherit the other one's environment.

preflight answers only whether the suite can run at all -- not what the
compiler is capable of.  A test needing a particular compiler feature
probes for it and skips; that costs one compile and keeps the reason next
to the test that has to justify it.

+# the x86 tests against x86 objects given a compiler that emits them.
