objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()
0-day bot reported some new objtool warnings which were caused by the new annotate_unreachable() macro: fs/afs/flock.o: warning: objtool: afs_do_unlk()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save fs/afs/flock.o: warning: objtool: afs_do_unlk()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.o: warning: objtool: btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.o: warning: objtool: btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: _grant_lock()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: _grant_lock()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch fs/ocfs2/alloc.o: warning: objtool: ocfs2_mv_path()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save fs/ocfs2/alloc.o: warning: objtool: ocfs2_mv_path()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch It turns out that, for older versions of GCC, if a function has multiple BUG() incantations, GCC will sometimes merge the corresponding annotate_unreachable() inline asm statements into a single block. That has the undesirable effect of removing one of the entries in the __unreachable section, confusing objtool greatly. A workaround for this issue is to ensure that each instance of the inline asm statement uses a different label, so that GCC sees the statements are unique and leaves them alone. The inline asm ‘%=’ token could be used for that, but unfortunately older versions of GCC don't support it. So I implemented a poor man's version of it with the __LINE__ macro.
