[RFC PATCH v1 0/4] Implement inline static calls on PPC32

[RFC PATCH v1 0/4] Implement inline static calls on PPC32

[Christophe Leroy]

This is first draft for implementing inline static calls on PPC32.

This series applies on top of the series v2 "objtool: Enable and implement --mcount option on powerpc"

For the time being only the case where functions are within 'bl' reach
is supported. Otherwise panic() is invoked.

For the other case, we'll need to use the trampoline we have at startup
before initialising inline static calls. But it seems that at the time
being once inline static calls are initialised we don't know anymore
where the trampoline was.
We'd need to keep the information somewhere (is the static_call_key ?)
We may also need to keep the information for when the trampoline itself
is out of 'bl' reach, in that case there is a trampoline setup by the
compiler and we'll need to remind the location of that trampoline. Guess
it should get saved somewhere when we initialise inline static calls ?

Christophe Leroy (4):

    enabled"

[RFC PATCH v1 1/4] Revert "objtool: Enable objtool to run only on files with ftrace enabled"

[Christophe Leroy]

This reverts commit cf3013dfad89ad5ac7d16d56dced72d7c138a20e.

That commit is problematic as we miss some static calls.

[RFC PATCH v1 2/4] objtool: Add R_REL32 macro

[Christophe Leroy]

In order to allow other architectures than x86 to use 32 bits
relative relocations, define a R_REL32 macro that each architecture
will define, in the same way as already done for R_NONE.

Implement inline static calls:
- Put a 'bl' to the destination function
- Put a 'nop' when the destination function is NULL
- Put a 'li r3,0' when the destination is the RET0 function

For the time being it only works if the destination is
within 32Mb from the caller.

Revert ?!?! who comitted this. And there's a ton more broken than just
static calls. This must absolutely not be.

What are the expected semantics of this relocation?  It is PC-relative,
sure, but what is the destination?  S+A-P always?  That works for both
x86-64 and for PowerPC, but it should be written doen somewhere :-)

No worry, it is just a follow-up of my previous series which includes it.
