Subject: [PATCH 9/9] s390/bug: Prevent tail-call optimization
Date: Tue,  9 Dec 2025 13:17:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251209121701.1856271-10-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251209121701.1856271-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>

For the exception based __WARN_trap() implementation it is technically not
necessary to prevent tail-call optimization, however it may be confusing to
see warning messages like:

WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at foobar+0x2c/0x50, CPU#0: swapper/0/0

together with a disassembly of a different function caused by tail-call
optimaziation for the __WARN_trap() call. Prevent that by adding an empty
asm statement. This generates slightly worse code, but should hopefully
avoid confusion.

With this the output looks like:

WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at foobar+0x2c/0x50, CPU#0: swapper/0/0
...
Krnl PSW : 0704c00180000000 000003ffe0119788 (foobar+0x38/0x50)

 [<000003ffe010002e>] startup_continue+0x2e/0x40

A better solution would be to replace or patch the branch instruction to
__WARN_trap() with the monitor call instruction, similar to what is done
for x86 [1]. However s390 does not support static_cond_calls(). Therefore
use the simple approach for the time being.
