percpu_{,try_}cmpxchg{64,128}() macros use CALL instruction inside
asm statement in one of their alternatives. Use ALT_OUTPUT_SP()
macro to add required dependence on %esp register.
ALT_OUTPUT_SP() implements the above dependence by adding
ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT to its arguments. This constraint should be used
for any inline asm which has a CALL instruction, otherwise the
compiler may schedule the asm before the frame pointer gets set up
by the containing function, causing objtool to print a "call without
frame pointer save/setup" warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
