arm64: Implement _THIS_IP_ using inline asm
Both GCC [1] and Clang [2] consider the generic version of _THIS_IP_ to be broken: #define _THIS_IP_ ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&&__here; }) In particular, the address of a label is only expected to be used with a computed goto. While the generic version more or less works today, it is known to be brittle and may break with current and future optimizations. For example, Clang -O2 always returns 1 when this function is inlined: static inline unsigned long get_ip(void) { return ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&&__here; }); } Fix it by overriding _THIS_IP_ in <asm/linkage.h> (which is included by <linux/instruction_pointer.h>) using an architecture-specific inline asm version. Additionally, avoiding taking the address of a label prevents compilers from emitting spurious indirect branch targets (e.g. ENDBR or BTI) under control-flow integrity schemes.
