| |
paravirt depends on a custom calling convention (callee saved), but expects this from a static inline function that it then forces to be outlined. This is problematic because different compilers or flags can then add a stack guard that violates the calling conventions.
Uses extern inline with the out-of-line definition in assembly to prevent compilers from adding stack guards to the outlined version.
Other parts of the codebase overwrite KBUILD_CFLAGS, which is *extremely problematic* for extern inline, as the sematics are completely the opposite depending on what C standard is used. http://blahg.josefsipek.net/?p=529
Changes since v5: Reworded commits to include Juergen's ack and switch a Suggested-by for Reviewed-by tag. No code changes.
Changes since v4: Take Arnd's and hpa's suggestions properly feature detect gnu_inline attribute to support gcc 4.1.
Changes since v3: Take Joe's suggestion to hoist __inline__ and __inline out of conditional block.
Changes since v2: Take hpa's _ASM_ARG patch into the set in order to simplify cross 32b/64b x86 assembly and rebase my final patch to use it. Apply Sedat's typo fix to commit message and sign off on it. Take Joe's suggestion to simplify __inline__ and __inline. Add Arnd to list of folks who made helpful suggestions.
Changes since v1: Prefer gnu_inline function attribute instead of explicitly setting C standard compiler flag in problematic Makefiles. We should instead carefully evaluate if those Makefiles should be overwriting KBUILD_CFLAGS at all. Dropped the previous first two patches and added a new first patch.
