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 __test_function being in .bss section:

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
         Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
    ...

  $ 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 .text section, so making it specific explicit with push and pop
section cluases.

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset

  $ nm perf | grep __test_function
  00000000004d62c8 T __test_function
