Document explicitly that %edx can get clobbered on the slow path, on
32-bit kernels. Something I learned the hard way. :-\

call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable()
3387a535ce62 ("x86/asm: Create stack frames in rwsem functions") has
added FRAME_{BEGIN,END} annotations to rwsem asm stubs. The patch
which has added call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() was based on an
older tree so it didn't know about annotations. Let's add them.
This addresses the following objtool warning:
arch/x86/lib/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable()+0xe: call without frame pointer save/setup

which uses the same fast path as __down_write() except it falls back to
call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() slow path and return -EINTR if
killed. To prevent from code duplication extract the skeleton of
__down_write() into a helper macro which just takes the semaphore
and the slow path function to be called.

rwsem.S has several callable non-leaf functions which don't honor
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces.
Create stack frames for them when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled.

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.
These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.
In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.
So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:
27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)
Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:
- it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.
- find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
that makes sense.
- it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
done on the dwarf side.

Sequences:
pushl_cfi %reg
CFI_REL_OFFSET reg, 0
and:
popl_cfi %reg
CFI_RESTORE reg
happen quite often. This patch adds macros which generate them.
No assembly changes (verified with objdump -dr vmlinux.o).

Rather than having two functionally identical implementations
for 32- and 64-bit configurations, use the previously extended
assembly abstractions to fold the rwsem two implementations into
a shared one.
