powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto
Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more flexibility to GCC. For that add an entry to the exception table so that program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution after a WARNING. Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64. unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs) { int ret; WARN_ON(regs->msr & MSR_PR); return regs->gpr[3]; } unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) { if (WARN_ON(!b)) return 0; return a / b; } Before the patch: 000003a8 <test>: 3a8: 81 23 00 84 lwz r9,132(r3) 3ac: 71 29 40 00 andi. r9,r9,16384 3b0: 40 82 00 0c bne 3bc <test+0x14> 3b4: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3b8: 4e 80 00 20 blr 3bc: 0f e0 00 00 twui r0,0 3c0: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3c4: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000000000000bf0 <.test9w>: bf0: 7c 89 00 74 cntlzd r9,r4 bf4: 79 29 d1 82 rldicl r9,r9,58,6 bf8: 0b 09 00 00 tdnei r9,0 bfc: 2c 24 00 00 cmpdi r4,0 c00: 41 82 00 0c beq c0c <.test9w+0x1c> c04: 7c 63 23 92 divdu r3,r3,r4 c08: 4e 80 00 20 blr c0c: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c10: 4e 80 00 20 blr After the patch: 000003a8 <test>: 3a8: 81 23 00 84 lwz r9,132(r3) 3ac: 71 29 40 00 andi. r9,r9,16384 3b0: 40 82 00 0c bne 3bc <test+0x14> 3b4: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3b8: 4e 80 00 20 blr 3bc: 0f e0 00 00 twui r0,0 0000000000000c50 <.test9w>: c50: 7c 89 00 74 cntlzd r9,r4 c54: 79 29 d1 82 rldicl r9,r9,58,6 c58: 0b 09 00 00 tdnei r9,0 c5c: 7c 63 23 92 divdu r3,r3,r4 c60: 4e 80 00 20 blr c70: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c74: 4e 80 00 20 blr In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what happens after the trap. In the second exemple, we see that GCC doesn't need to emit a test and a branch in the likely path in addition to the trap. We've got some WARN_ON() in .softirqentry.text section so it needs to be added in the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in modpost.c Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/389962b1b702e3c78d169e59bcfac56282889173.1618331882.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu
