Subject: [PATCH 4.19 30/49] perf test: Fix the "signal" test inline assembly

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 8a39e8c4d9baf65d88f66d49ac684df381e30055 ]

When compiling with DEBUG=1 on Fedora 32 I'm getting crash for 'perf
test signal':

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x0000000000c68548 in __test_function ()
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x0000000000c68548 in __test_function ()

  ...

It's caused by the symbol __test_function being in the ".bss" section:

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
         Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
    ...
    [28] .bss              NOBITS           0000000000c356a0  008346a0
         00000000000511f8  0000000000000000  WA       0     0     32

  $ nm perf | grep __test_function
  0000000000c68548 B __test_function

I guess most of the time we're just lucky the inline asm ended up in the
".text" section, so making it specific explicit with push and pop
section clauses.

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
         Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
    ...

  $ nm perf | grep __test_function
  00000000004d62c8 T __test_function

Before:

  $ perf test signal
  20: Breakpoint overflow signal handler                    : FAILED!
  $

After:

  $ perf test signal
  20: Breakpoint overflow signal handler                    : Ok
