I now have the below as v3 of this patch. The naming isn't entirely
obvious, but coming up with a short name for this is tricky, but
hopefully the comments make it clear. We can of course still pick
another name.
Does that look reasonable?
Note, I'd like this series to sit in -next for a while (probably from
some time next week after sending v3 if there are no further
complaints). By default everything will be picked up by the -rcu tree,
and we're targeting Linux 5.18.
If you feel there might be objtool conflicts coming, this patch could be
taken through another tree as there are no hard dependencies, as long as
this patch reaches mainline before or with the rest.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] objtool, kcsan: Remove memory barrier instrumentation from
noinstr
Teach objtool to turn instrumentation required for memory barrier
modeling into nops in noinstr text.
The __tsan_func_entry/exit calls are still emitted by compilers even
with the __no_sanitize_thread attribute. The memory barrier
instrumentation will be inserted explicitly (without compiler help), and
thus needs to also explicitly be removed.

v3:
* s/removable_instr/profiling_func/ (suggested by Josh Poimboeuf)
* Fix and add more comments.
v2:
* Rewrite after rebase to v5.16-rc1.
