From 023e59d4cee91dd3ca811eb01db2c5fb9f783dc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miaohe Lin Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2022 19:38:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/alternative: Remove noinline from __ibt_endbr_seal[_end]() stubs Due to the explicit 'noinline' GCC-7.3 is not able to optimize away the argument setup of: apply_ibt_endbr(__ibt_endbr_seal, __ibt_enbr_seal_end); even when X86_KERNEL_IBT=n and the function is an empty stub, which leads to link errors due to missing __ibt_endbr_seal* symbols: ld: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: in function `alternative_instructions': alternative.c:(.init.text+0x15d): undefined reference to `__ibt_endbr_seal_end' ld: alternative.c:(.init.text+0x164): undefined reference to `__ibt_endbr_seal' Remove the explicit 'noinline' to help gcc optimize them away.
