S/390: Add direct support for Linux kernel __fentry__ patching.
On i386, the difference between mcount and fentry is that fentry comes before the prolog. On s390 mcount already comes before the prolog, but takes 4 instructions. This patch introduces the more efficient implementation (just 1 instruction) and puts it under -mfentry flag. The produced code is compatible only with newer glibc versions, which provide the __fentry__ symbol and do not clobber %r0 when resolving lazily bound functions. Because 31-bit PLT stubs assume %r12 contains GOT address, which is not the case when the code runs before the prolog, -mfentry is allowed only for 64-bit code. Also, code compiled with -mfentry cannot be used for the nested C functions, since they both use %r0. In this case instrumentation is not insterted, and a new warning is issued for each affected nested function. 2018-07-16 Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com> * common.opt: Add the new warning. * config/s390/s390.c (s390_function_profiler): Emit "brasl %r0,__fentry__" when -mfentry is specified. (s390_option_override_internal): Disallow -mfentry for 31-bit CPUs. * config/s390/s390.opt: Add the new option. 2018-07-16 Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com> * gcc.target/s390/mfentry-m64.c: New testcase.
