Subject: objtool warning "uses BP as a scratch register" with clang-9
I upgraded to the latest clang-9 snapshot from http://apt.llvm.org/ today.
Many problems are fixed, but I still get tons of warnings like
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.o: warning: objtool:
mtrr_type_lookup_variable uses BP as a scratch register
arch/x86/kernel/process.o: warning: objtool: get_tsc_mode()+0x21: call
without frame pointer save/setup
arch/x86/kernel/early_printk.o: warning: objtool: early_vga_write uses
BP as a scratch register
arch/x86/kernel/sysfb_simplefb.o: warning: objtool: parse_mode uses BP
as a scratch register
arch/x86/kernel/head64.o: warning: objtool: __startup_64 uses BP as a
scratch register
kernel/time/timeconv.o: warning: objtool: time64_to_tm uses BP as a
scratch register
kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: warning: objtool:
ring_buffer_discard_commit uses BP as a scratch register
...
I created a reduced test case:
$ cat crc32.i
typedef unsigned u32;
long a, c;
u32 b, f;
u32 *d, *e;
void fn1() {
u32 *g = &f, *h = e, *i = d;
for (; a < c; a++)
b = i[b >> 8 & 255] ^ h[b] ^ g[5];
}
$ clang-9 -c crc32.i -O2 ; objtool check crc32.o
crc32.o: warning: objtool: fn1 uses BP as a scratch register
$ objdump -d crc32.o

This happens with clang-9 and clang-10 at the moment, but not clang-8.
