objtool: Support GCC 8 '-fnoreorder-functions'
[ Upstream commit 08b393d01c88aff27347ed2b1b354eb4db2f1532 ]
Since the following commit:
cd77849a69cf ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions")
... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions',
objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop.
That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text
instead of .text.unlikely. But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the
symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside
the parent (nmi_panic).
That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an
infinite loop in next_insn_same_func(). Here's Allan's description of
the loop:
"Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using
next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it
jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since
the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic
objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528
after reaching 0x534."
Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the
functions no longer overlap.
