Subject: objtool: add UACCESS exceptions for __tsan_volatile_read/write
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2023 14:00:58 +0100
A lot of the tsan helpers are already excempt from the UACCESS warnings,
but some more functions were added that need the same thing:
kernel/kcsan/core.o: warning: objtool: __tsan_volatile_read16+0x0: call to __tsan_unaligned_read16() with UACCESS enabled
kernel/kcsan/core.o: warning: objtool: __tsan_volatile_write16+0x0: call to __tsan_unaligned_write16() with UACCESS enabled
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __tsan_unaligned_volatile_read16+0x4: call to __tsan_unaligned_read16() with UACCESS enabled
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __tsan_unaligned_volatile_write16+0x4: call to __tsan_unaligned_write16() with UACCESS enabled
As Marco points out, these functions don't even call each other
explicitly but instead gcc (but not clang) notices the functions
being identical and turns one symbol into a direct branch to the
other.
