Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for some inline asm

Some warning were showed by objtool using gcc 7.2.0

kernel/locking/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: up_read()+0x11: call without frame pointer save/setup
kernel/locking/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: up_write()+0x17: call without frame pointer save/setup
kernel/locking/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: downgrade_write()+0x22: call without frame pointer save/setup

which means gcc placed an inline asm function and its call instruction before
the frame pointer setup.
 
This series forces a stack frame to be created before the call instruction
by listing the stack pointer as an output operand in the inline asm statement.

Changes in v2:
  - Update first parameter from _ASM_ADD to '%3' at __downgrade_write()

Miguel Bernal Marin (3):
  locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for __up_read()
  locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for __up_write()
  locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for __downgrade_write()
