[PATCH] x86/ibt: Convert IBT selftest to asm

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri Apr 07 2023 - 20:17:10 EST


The following warning is reported when frame pointers and kernel IBT are
enabled:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ibt_selftest+0x11: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

The problem is that objtool interprets the indirect branch in
ibt_selftest() as a sibling call, and GCC inserts a (partial) frame
pointer prologue before it:

0000 000000000003f550 <ibt_selftest>:
0000 3f550: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
0004 3f554: e8 00 00 00 00 call 3f559 <ibt_selftest+0x9> 3f555: R_X86_64_PLT32 __fentry__-0x4
0009 3f559: 55 push %rbp
000a 3f55a: 48 8d 05 02 00 00 00 lea 0x2(%rip),%rax # 3f563 <ibt_selftest_ip>
0011 3f561: ff e0 jmp *%rax

Note the inline asm is missing ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT, so the 'push %rbp'
happens before the indirect branch and the 'mov %rsp, %rbp' happens
afterwards.

Simplify the generated code and make it easier to understand for both
tools and humans by moving the selftest to proper asm.
