That all makes sense to me.

I'll take a look at putting together an arm64 equivalent to the x86
extable patch, along with cleanup to our SW breakpoint code (which we
use in lieu for x86's UD2).

Thanks,
Mark.

Ooooh, that is intense. And the trampolines (EX_REG_HANDLERs) are all
just there to catch whatever register gcc decides to stuff the value
into? *cover face* Sure, okay. :)

I wonder how many existing WARN callsites could be repurposed to use this?

Right, they shouldn't be big functions, but barring whole program LTO
there's just no knowing which are unused.

> I wonder how many existing WARN callsites could be repurposed to use this?

At the very least all WARN/BUG instances with trivial @format argument
that are inlined I think. For example, things like:

static inline some_function()
{
	/* ... */
	WARN(cond, "blah blah blah\n");
	/* ... */
}

where the format has no arguments. Here we can out-of-line the printk()
stuff, which, as is the purpose here, shrinks the size of the inline.

Unless there is some other unholy macros trick, I think we'd need a
separate "WARN_CONST" or something macro to do this (i.e.
WARN_CONST(const, const_str) instead of WARN(cond, fmt, ...)), since
detecting a single-item vararg in a macro is very weird/impossible to
do. Hrmm.
