If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of
the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags
| Reported-by: kernel test robot [off-list ref]

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
quoted

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x2c: call to preempt_count_add() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __do_fast_syscall_32+0x3d: call to preempt_count_add() leaves .noinstr.text section  
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT or CONFIG_TRACE_PREEMP_TOGGLE is set
the preempt_count_[en|dis]able() calls inside [put|get]_cpu_var()
become real functions.

Maybe __preempt_count_[inc|dec]() can be called (with this_cpu_ptr()).
