[ Upstream commit b2c3ccbd0011bb3b51d0fec24cb3a5812b1ec8ea ]
When CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=y, each use of an LL/SC atomic results in
a fragment of code being generated in a subsection without a clear
association with its caller. A trampoline in the caller branches to the
LL/SC atomic with with a direct branch, and the atomic directly branches
back into its trampoline.
This breaks backtracing, as any PC within the out-of-line fragment will
be symbolized as an offset from the nearest prior symbol (which may not
be the function using the atomic), and since the atomic returns with a
direct branch, the caller's PC may be missing from the backtrace.
For example, with secondary_start_kernel() hacked to contain
atomic_inc(NULL), the resulting exception can be reported as being taken
from cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel():

This is confusing and hinders debugging, and will be problematic for
CONFIG_LIVEPATCH as these cases cannot be unwound reliably.
This is very similar to recent issues with out-of-line exception fixups,
which were removed in commits:
35d67794b8828333 ("arm64: lib: __arch_clear_user(): fold fixups into body")
4012e0e22739eef9 ("arm64: lib: __arch_copy_from_user(): fold fixups into body")
139f9ab73d60cf76 ("arm64: lib: __arch_copy_to_user(): fold fixups into body")
When the trampolines were introduced in commit:
addfc38672c73efd ("arm64: atomics: avoid out-of-line ll/sc atomics")
The rationale was to improve icache performance by grouping the LL/SC
atomics together. This has never been measured, and this theoretical
benefit is outweighed by other factors:
* As the subsections are collapsed into sections at object file
granularity, these are spread out throughout the kernel and can share
cachelines with unrelated code regardless.
* GCC 12.1.0 has been observed to place the trampoline out-of-line in
specialised __ll_sc_*() functions, introducing more branching than was
intended.
* Removing the trampolines has been observed to shrink a defconfig
kernel Image by 64KiB when building with GCC 12.1.0.
This patch removes the LL/SC trampolines, meaning that the LL/SC atomics
will be inlined into their callers (or placed in out-of line functions
using regular BL/RET pairs). When CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=y, the LL/SC
atomics are always called in an unlikely branch, and will be placed in a
cold portion of the function, so this should have minimal impact to the
hot paths.
Other than the improved backtracing, there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch.
