[PATCH] objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable(), take 2
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri Nov 03 2017 - 18:19:50 EST
This fixes the following warning with GCC 4.6:
mm/migrate.o: warning: objtool: migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()+0x71: unreachable instruction
The problem is that the compiler merged identical annotate_unreachable()
inline asm blocks, resulting in a missing 'unreachable' annotation.
This problem happened before, and was partially fixed with:
3d1e236022cc ("objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()")
That commit tried to ensure that each instance of the
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statement has a unique label. It used
the __LINE__ macro to generate the label number. However, even the line
number isn't necessarily unique when used in an inline function with
multiple callers (in this case, __alloc_pages_node()'s use of
VM_BUG_ON).
