But objtool is complaining about a real problem (albeit with a cryptic
warning).  I don't think we want to paper over that. See patch.

Also, are in-tree users of trace_printk() even allowed??

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...hat.com>
Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix _THIS_IP_ usage in trace_printk()

do_trace_printk() uses the _THIS_IP_ macro to save the current
instruction pointer as an argument to a called function.  However,
because _THIS_IP_ relies on an empty label hack to get the IP, the
compiler is actually free to place the label anywhere in the function,
including at the very end -- which, since the label doesn't actually
have any code, is technically at the beginning of whatever function
happens to come next.

For example:

      1d89:	48 c7 c7 00 00 00 00 	mov    $0x0,%rdi
  			1d8c: R_X86_64_32S	.text.unlikely+0x1d3a
      1d90:	e8 00 00 00 00       	callq  1d95 <__intel_wait_for_register_fw.cold+0xd4>
  			1d91: R_X86_64_PLT32	__trace_bprintk-0x4
      1d95:	e8 00 00 00 00       	callq  1d9a <__intel_wait_for_register_fw.cold+0xd9>
  			1d96: R_X86_64_PLT32	__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc-0x4
      1d9a:	bf 01 00 00 00       	mov    $0x1,%edi
      1d9f:	e8 00 00 00 00       	callq  1da4 <__intel_wait_for_register_fw.cold+0xe3>
  			1da0: R_X86_64_PLT32	ftrace_dump-0x4
      1da4:	31 f6                	xor    %esi,%esi
      1da6:	bf 09 00 00 00       	mov    $0x9,%edi
      1dab:	e8 00 00 00 00       	callq  1db0 <__intel_wait_for_register_fw.cold+0xef>
  			1dac: R_X86_64_PLT32	add_taint-0x4
      1db0:	90                   	nop
      1db1:	0f 0b                	ud2

  0000000000001db3 <vlv_allow_gt_wake.cold>:

In this case _THIS_IP_ causes the instruction at 0x1d89 to reference the
next function.  This results in a semi-cryptic objtool warning:

  warning: objtool: __intel_wait_for_register_fw.cold()+0xce: relocation to !ENDBR: vlv_allow_gt_wake.cold+0x

While _THIS_IP_ is inherently imprecise, we can at least coddle the
compiler into putting the label *before* the call by using _THIS_IP_
immediately before the call instead of as an argument to the call.
