[PATCH] x86/alternatives: Use C int3 selftest but disable KASAN

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Nov 11 2019 - 16:51:22 EST


Instead of using inline asm for the int3 selftest (which confuses the
Clang's ThinLTO pass), this restores the C function but disables KASAN
(and tracing for good measure) to keep the things simple and avoid
unexpected side-effects. This attempts to keep the fix from commit
ecc606103837 ("x86/alternatives: Fix int3_emulate_call() selftest stack
corruption") without using inline asm.
