Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] compiler: remove __ADDRESSABLE_ASM{_STR,}() again
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2025 09:01:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250824130143.2748139-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025082218-headed-visitor-b1a2@gregkh>

From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit 8ea815399c3fcce1889bd951fec25b5b9a3979c1 ]

__ADDRESSABLE_ASM_STR() is where the necessary stringification happens.
As long as "sym" doesn't contain any odd characters, no quoting is
required for its use with .quad / .long. In fact the quotation gets in
the way with gas 2.25; it's only from 2.26 onwards that quoted symbols
are half-way properly supported.

However, assembly being different from C anyway, drop
__ADDRESSABLE_ASM_STR() and its helper macro altogether. A simple
.global directive will suffice to get the symbol "declared", i.e. into
the symbol table. While there also stop open-coding STATIC_CALL_TRAMP()
and STATIC_CALL_KEY().

Fixes: 0ef8047b737d ("x86/static-call: provide a way to do very early static-call updates")
