    x86/ibt: Convert IBT selftest to asm · c6cfcbd8
    Josh Poimboeuf authored
    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.
