Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/5] objtool, x86/hweight: Remove ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE
Date: Tue,  8 Apr 2025 01:21:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e2be2dfe46dbe432375f2fafcb1dbdce1143af99.1744098446.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1744098446.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Since objtool's inception, frame pointer warnings have been manually
silenced for __arch_hweight*() to allow those functions' inline asm to
avoid using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT.

The potentially dubious reasoning for that decision over nine years ago
was that since !X86_FEATURE_POPCNT is exceedingly rare, it's not worth
hurting the code layout for a function call that will never happen on
the vast majority of systems.

However, those functions actually started using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT with
the following commit:

  194a613088a8 ("x86/hweight: Use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in inline asm()")

And rightfully so, as it makes the code correct.  ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT
will soon have no effect for non-FP configs anyway.

With ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in place, ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE no longer
has a purpose for the hweight functions.  Remove it.
