The ppc_inst_as_str() macro tries to make printing variable length,
aka "prefixed", instructions convenient. It mostly succeeds, but it does
hide an on-stack buffer, which triggers stack protector.
More problematically it doesn't compile at all with GCC 12, due to the
fact that it returns the char buffer declared inside the macro:
arch/powerpc/kernel/trace/ftrace.c: In function '__ftrace_modify_call':
./include/linux/printk.h:475:44: error: using a dangling pointer to '__str'
[-Werror=dangling-pointer=]
475 | #define printk(fmt, ...) printk_index_wrap(_printk, fmt,
##__VA_ARGS__)
...
arch/powerpc/kernel/trace/ftrace.c:567:17: note: in expansion of macro
'pr_err'
567 | pr_err("Not expected bl: opcode is %s\n",
ppc_inst_as_str(op));
| ^~~~~~
./arch/powerpc/include/asm/inst.h:156:14: note: '__str' declared here
156 | char __str[PPC_INST_STR_LEN]; \
| ^~~~~
This could be fixed by having the caller declare the buffer, but in some
places there'd need to be two buffers. In all cases where
ppc_inst_as_str() is used the output is not really meant for user
consumption, it's almost always indicative of a kernel bug.
A simpler solution is to just print the value as an unsigned long. For
normal instructions the output is identical. For prefixed instructions
the value is printed as a single 64-bit quantity, whereas previously the
low half was printed first. But that is good enough for debug output,
especially as prefixed instructions will be rare in practice.
