x86/ibt: Convert IBT selftest to asm
The following warning is reported when frame pointers and kernel IBT are enabled: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ibt_selftest+0x11: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame The problem is that objtool interprets the indirect branch in ibt_selftest() as a sibling call, and GCC inserts a (partial) frame pointer prologue before it: 0000 000000000003f550 <ibt_selftest>: 0000 3f550: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64 0004 3f554: e8 00 00 00 00 call 3f559 <ibt_selftest+0x9> 3f555: R_X86_64_PLT32 __fentry__-0x4 0009 3f559: 55 push %rbp 000a 3f55a: 48 8d 05 02 00 00 00 lea 0x2(%rip),%rax # 3f563 <ibt_selftest_ip> 0011 3f561: ff e0 jmp *%rax Note the inline asm is missing ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT, so the 'push %rbp' happens before the indirect branch and the 'mov %rsp, %rbp' happens afterwards. Simplify the generated code and make it easier to understand for both tools and humans by moving the selftest to proper asm.
