Subject: [PATCH 4.14 024/218] s390/preempt: disable __preempt_count_add() optimization for PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES

From: Heiko Carstens <hca@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 63678eecec57fc51b778be3da35a397931287170 ]

gcc 12 does not (always) optimize away code that should only be generated
if parameters are constant and within in a certain range. This depends on
various obscure kernel config options, however in particular
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES can trigger this compile error:

In function ‘__atomic_add_const’,
    inlined from ‘__preempt_count_add.part.0’ at ./arch/s390/include/asm/preempt.h:50:3:
./arch/s390/include/asm/atomic_ops.h:80:9: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’
   80 |         asm volatile(                                                   \
      |         ^~~

Workaround this by simply disabling the optimization for
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, since the kernel will be so slow, that this
optimization won't matter at all.
