s390/bpf: Fix gcov stack space problem
When compiling the kernel for GCOV (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL,-fprofile-arcs), gcc allocates a lot of stack space because of the large switch statement in bpf_jit_insn(). This leads to the following compile warning: arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c: In function 'bpf_jit_prog': arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1144:1: warning: frame size of function 'bpf_jit_prog' is 12592 bytes which is more than half the stack size. The dynamic check would not be reliable. No check emitted for this function. arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1144:1: warning: the frame size of 12504 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] And indead gcc allocates 12592 bytes of stack space: # objdump -d arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.o ... 0000000000000c60 <bpf_jit_prog>: c60: eb 6f f0 48 00 24 stmg %r6,%r15,72(%r15) c66: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15 c6a: e3 f0 fe d0 fc 71 lay %r15,-12592(%r15) As a workaround of that problem we now define bpf_jit_insn() as noinline which then reduces the stack space. # objdump -d arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.o ... 0000000000000070 <bpf_jit_insn>: 70: eb 6f f0 48 00 24 stmg %r6,%r15,72(%r15) 76: c0 d0 00 00 00 00 larl %r13,76 <bpf_jit_insn+0x6> 7c: a7 f1 3f 80 tmll %r15,16256 80: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15 84: e3 f0 ff a0 ff 71 lay %r15,-96(%r15) Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
