objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bug
The kbuild bot reported the following warning with GCC 4.4 and a randconfig: net/socket.o: warning: objtool: compat_sock_ioctl()+0x1083: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+160 cfa2=-1+0 This is caused by another GCC non-optimization, where it backs up and restores the stack pointer for no apparent reason: 2f91: 48 89 e0 mov %rsp,%rax 2f94: 4c 89 e7 mov %r12,%rdi 2f97: 4c 89 f6 mov %r14,%rsi 2f9a: ba 20 00 00 00 mov $0x20,%edx 2f9f: 48 89 c4 mov %rax,%rsp This issue would have been happily ignored before the following commit: dd88a0a0c861 ("objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug") But now that objtool is paying attention to such stack pointer writes to/from a register, it needs to understand them properly. In this case that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is potentially a backup of the stack pointer.
