[PATCH] objtool: replace _ASM_PTR with quad in macros
Posted by Chen Zhongjin 3 years, 7 months ago 
Macros STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD and ANNOTATE_NOENDBR uses
_ASM_PTR. It switch between .long and .quad based on 32bit
or 64bit. However objtool doesn't work for 32bit, so _ASM_PTR
makes no sense.

Considering that _ASM_PTR comes from asm.h, which is x86
specific head file, while objtool.h is generic. Replace
_ASM_PTR with quad and remove asm.h reference.

As ppc said they will use objtool for both 32 and 64bit, maybe we still 
need a switchable symbol type for this.

How about this one?

objtool is about to be used on powerpc on both PPC32 and PPC64, see 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=312955&state=*

So if this part is meant to be used by all architectures, we need 
nothing that also works on 32 bits, don't we ?

ANNOTATE_NOENDBR affects nothing because it's for x86 IBT. Leaving this 
macro here is harmless now, but I think maybe it's better to move this 
to arch-specific.

The problem is STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD. The C version macro uses 
function pointer so the reloc symbol type can change between 32 and 64 bit.

Although I think quad is workable for both 32 and 64 bit, and this macro 
is .discard so it won't affect something else, but it may not keep reloc 
symbol type consistency.


Anyway, NO _ASM_PTR and asm.h, they are arch-specific and will break 
compiling on other arches.


Maybe we should create a macro similar to _ASM_PTR for other arches. 
Till now I didn't find one.

I'll send v2 patch to make this and Peter can judge.


Best,

Chen
