That patch has obvious copy-n-paste errors:

i386:

 cflags-y += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI=1,)
 AFLAGS += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI=1,)
 
+# is .cfi_signal_frame supported too?
+cflags-y += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI=1,)
+AFLAGS += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI=1,)

So that won't work.

x86_64 appears to get it right:

 cflags-y += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI=1,)
 AFLAGS += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI=1,)
 
+# is .cfi_signal_frame supported too?
+cflags-y += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_signal_frame\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI_SIGNAL_FRAME=1,)
+AFLAGS += $(call as-instr,.cfi_startproc\n.cfi_signal_frame\n.cfi_endproc,-DCONFIG_AS_CFI_SIGNAL_FRAME=1,)

Later,

+#ifdef CONFIG_AS_CFI_SIGNAL_FRAME
+#define CFI_SIGNAL_FRAME .cfi_signal_frame
+#else
+#define CFI_SIGNAL_FRAME
+#endif

but it's obviously not working.   Wanna debug it a bit?
