[PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Silence RBP clobber warnings
Posted by Josh Poimboeuf 10 months, 3 weeks ago
VMware hypercalls take the RBP register as input.  This breaks basic
frame pointer convention, as RBP should never be clobbered.

So frame pointer unwinding is broken for the instructions surrounding
the hypercall with the clobbered RBP.  There's nothing that can be done
about that.  Just tell objtool to ignore it.

Silences the following warnings:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_in+0x1df: return with modified stack frame
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_out+0x1dd: return with modified stack frame

That's a pretty horrific ABI, one that violates the oldest x86 calling
convention in existence.

VMware folks, shame!!

Agreed :-(

BTW, please ignore the patch, I'll be sending a v2.

I realized (with Peter's prodding on IRC) that reliable ORC unwinding
would be broken if the function has a frame pointer.  Which can
happen if the function needs an aligned stack.
