My source tree sayeth: u64 notrace _paravirt_ident_64(u64 x) And that function is only ever called at boot, after alternatives runs it's patched with: mov %_ASM_ARG1, %_ASM_AX Anyway, if you want to take it away from the compiler, something like so should do. diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c b/arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c index 7ca2d46c08cc..8922e2887779 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c @@ -80,11 +80,16 @@ static unsigned paravirt_patch_call(void *insn_buff, const void *target, } #ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL -/* identity function, which can be inlined */ -u64 notrace _paravirt_ident_64(u64 x) -{ - return x; -} +extern u64 _paravirt_ident_64(u64 x); +asm (".pushsection .entry.text, \"ax\"\n" + ".global _paravirt_ident_64\n" + "_paravirt_ident_64:\n\t" + ASM_ENDBR + "mov %" _ASM_ARG1 ", %" _ASM_AX "\n\t" + ASM_RET + ".size _paravirt_ident_64, . - _paravirt_ident_64\n\t" + ".type _paravirt_ident_64, @function\n\t" + ".popsection"); #endif DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(virt_spin_lock_key);
