It looks to me like GCC is doing the right thing. That likely()
translates to:
# define likely(x) (__branch_check__(x, 1, __builtin_constant_p(x)))
which becomes:
#define __branch_check__(x, expect, is_constant) ({ \
long ______r; \
static struct ftrace_likely_data \
__aligned(4) \
__section(_ftrace_annotated_branch) \
______f = { \
.data.func = __func__, \
.data.file = __FILE__, \
.data.line = __LINE__, \
}; \
______r = __builtin_expect(!!(x), expect); \
ftrace_likely_update(&______f, ______r, \
expect, is_constant); \
______r; \
})
Here 'x' is the call to user_access_begin(). It evaluates 'x' -- and
thus calls user_access_begin() -- before the call to
ftrace_likely_update().
So it's working as designed, right? The likely() just needs to be
changed to likely_notrace().
