arm64: Don't insert a BTI instruction at inner labels
Some ftrace features are broken since commit 714a8d02ca4d ("arm64: asm: Override SYM_FUNC_START when building the kernel with BTI"). For example the function_graph tracer: $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer [ 36.107016] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 115 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2691 ftrace_modify_all_code+0xc8/0x14c When ftrace_modify_graph_caller() attempts to write a branch at ftrace_graph_call, it finds the "BTI J" instruction inserted by SYM_INNER_LABEL() instead of a NOP, and aborts. It turns out we don't currently need the BTI landing pads inserted by SYM_INNER_LABEL: * ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are only used for runtime patching of the active tracer. The patched code is not reached from a branch. * install_el2_stub is reached from a CBZ instruction, which doesn't change PSTATE.BTYPE. * __guest_exit is reached from B instructions in the hyp-entry vectors, which aren't subject to BTI checks either. Remove the BTI annotation from SYM_INNER_LABEL.
