When compiling the kernel for GCOV (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL,-fprofile-arcs),
gcc allocates a lot of stack space because of the large switch statement
in bpf_jit_insn().
This leads to the following compile warning:
arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c: In function 'bpf_jit_prog':
arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1144:1: warning: frame size of
function 'bpf_jit_prog' is 12592 bytes which is more than
half the stack size. The dynamic check would not be reliable.
No check emitted for this function.
arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1144:1: warning: the frame size of 12504
bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
And indead gcc allocates 12592 bytes of stack space:
# objdump -d arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.o
...
0000000000000c60 <bpf_jit_prog>:
c60: eb 6f f0 48 00 24 stmg %r6,%r15,72(%r15)
c66: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15
c6a: e3 f0 fe d0 fc 71 lay %r15,-12592(%r15)
As a workaround of that problem we now define bpf_jit_insn() as
noinline which then reduces the stack space.
# objdump -d arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.o
...
0000000000000070 <bpf_jit_insn>:
70: eb 6f f0 48 00 24 stmg %r6,%r15,72(%r15)
