How about something like:
| As x86 uses the <asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-*.h> headers, the
| regular forms of all bitops are instrumented with explicit calls to
| KASAN and KCSAN checks. As these are explicit calls, these are not
| suppressed by the noinstr function attribute.
|
| This can result in calls to those check functions in noinstr code, which
| objtool warns about:
|
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: enter_from_user_mode+0x24: call to __kcsan_check_access() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x28: call to __kcsan_check_access() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: syscall_enter_from_user_mode_prepare+0x24: call to __kcsan_check_access() leaves .noinstr.text section
| vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: irqentry_enter_from_user_mode+0x24: call to __kcsan_check_access() leaves .noinstr.text section
|
| Prevent this by using the arch_*() bitops, which are the underlying
| bitops without explciit instrumentation.
Thanks,
Mark.
