Linus pointed out that compiler.h - which is a key header that gets included in every
single one of the 28,000+ kernel files during a kernel build - was bloated in:
6553896666: ("vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation")
Linus noted:

Move these primitives into a new header: <linux/instrumentation.h>, and include that
header in the headers that make use of it.
Unfortunately one of these headers is asm-generic/bug.h, which does get included
in a lot of places, similarly to compiler.h. So the de-bloating effect isn't as
good as we'd like it to be - but at least the interfaces are defined separately.
No change to functionality intended.

/*

* Because instrumentation_{begin,end}() can nest, objtool validation considers
|

* _begin() a +1 and _end() a -1 and computes a sum over the instructions.
|
|
* When the value is greater than 0, we consider instrumentation allowed.
|
|
*
|
|

|
|
*
|
|
* noinstr void foo()
|
|
* {
|
|
* instrumentation_begin();
|
|
* ...
|
|

* instrumentation_end();

* }
|
|
* bar();
|
|
* instrumentation_end();
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* If instrumentation_end() would be an empty label, like all the other
|
|
* annotations, the inner _end(), which is at the end of a conditional block,
|
|
* would land on the instruction after the block.
|
|
*
|
|
* If we then consider the sum of the !cond path, we'll see that the call to
|
|
* bar() is with a 0-value, even though, we meant it to happen with a positive
|
|
* value.
|
|
*
|
|
* To avoid this, have _end() be a NOP instruction, this ensures it will be
|
|
* part of the condition block and does not escape.
