This partly reverts commit 1e688dd2a3.
That commit aimed at optimising the code around generation of
WARN_ON/BUG_ON but this leads to a lot of dead code erroneously
generated by GCC.
That dead code becomes a problem when we start using objtool validation
because objtool will abort validation with a warning as soon as it
detects unreachable code. This is because unreachable code might
be the indication that objtool doesn't properly decode object text.
text data bss dec hex filename

9535281 3628358 224376 13388015 cc48ef vmlinux.after
Once this change is reverted, in a standard configuration (pmac32 +
function tracer) the text is reduced by 16k which is around 1.7%
We already had problem with it when starting to use objtool on powerpc
as a replacement for recordmcount, see commit 93e3f45a26 ("powerpc:
Fix __WARN_FLAGS() for use with Objtool")
There is also a problem with at least GCC 12, on ppc64_defconfig +
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y :
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
powerpc64-linux-ld: net/ipv4/tcp_input.o:(__ex_table+0xc4): undefined reference to `.L2136'
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:36: vmlinux] Error 1
make[1]: *** [/home/chleroy/linux-powerpc/Makefile:1238: vmlinux] Error 2
Taking into account that other problems are encountered with that
'asm goto' in WARN_ON(), including build failures, keeping that
change is not worth it allthough it is primarily a compiler bug.
Revert it for now.
mpe: Retain EMIT_WARN_ENTRY as a synonym for EMIT_BUG_ENTRY to reduce
churn, as there are now nearly as many uses of EMIT_WARN_ENTRY as
EMIT_BUG_ENTRY.
