[ Upstream commit 8a39e8c4d9baf65d88f66d49ac684df381e30055 ]

When compiling with DEBUG=1 on Fedora 32 I'm getting crash for 'perf
test signal':

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000c68548 in __test_function ()

It's caused by the symbol __test_function being in the ".bss" section:

$ readelf -a ./perf | less
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
...
[28] .bss NOBITS 0000000000c356a0 008346a0
00000000000511f8 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 32

$ nm perf | grep __test_function
0000000000c68548 B __test_function

I guess most of the time we're just lucky the inline asm ended up in the
".text" section, so making it specific explicit with push and pop
section clauses.

$ readelf -a ./perf | less
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
...
[13] .text PROGBITS 0000000000431240 00031240
0000000000306faa 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 16

$ nm perf | grep __test_function
00000000004d62c8 T __test_function

Committer testing:

$ readelf -wi ~/bin/perf | grep producer -m1
<c> DW_AT_producer : (indirect string, offset: 0x254a): GNU C99 10.2.1 20200723 (Red Hat 10.2.1-1) -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -ggdb3 -std=gnu99 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -funwind-tables -fstack-protector-all

Before:

$ perf test signal
20: Breakpoint overflow signal handler : FAILED!
$

After:

$ perf test signal
20: Breakpoint overflow signal handler : Ok
