      arm64: lse: deal with clobbered IP registers after branch via PLT · 5be8b70a
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      The LSE atomics implementation uses runtime patching to patch in calls
      to out of line non-LSE atomics implementations on cores that lack hardware
      support for LSE. To avoid paying the overhead cost of a function call even
      if no call ends up being made, the bl instruction is kept invisible to the
      compiler, and the out of line implementations preserve all registers, not
      just the ones that they are required to preserve as per the AAPCS64.
      
      However, commit fd045f6c ("arm64: add support for module PLTs") added
      support for routing branch instructions via veneers if the branch target
      offset exceeds the range of the ordinary relative branch instructions.
      Since this deals with jump and call instructions that are exposed to ELF
      relocations, the PLT code uses x16 to hold the address of the branch target
      when it performs an indirect branch-to-register, something which is
      explicitly allowed by the AAPCS64 (and ordinary compiler generated code
      does not expect register x16 or x17 to retain their values across a bl
      instruction).
      
      Since the lse runtime patched bl instructions don't adhere to the AAPCS64,
      they don't deal with this clobbering of registers x16 and x17. So add them
      to the clobber list of the asm() statements that perform the call
      instructions, and drop x16 and x17 from the list of registers that are
      callee saved in the out of line non-LSE implementations.
      
      In addition, since we have given these functions two scratch registers,
      they no longer need to stack/unstack temp registers.
