Re: [PATCH 00/33] Compile-time stack metadata validation

quoted

There are two ways to fix the warnings:

1. get rid of the thunks and call the C functions directly; or

No. Not until gcc learns about per-function callibg conventions (so that it can
be marked as not clobbering registers).

It does already for static functions in 5.x (with -fipa-ra).
And with LTO it can be used even somewhat globally.

Even older version supported it, for only for x86->SSE on 32bit, which
is useless for the kernel. But the new IPA-RA propagates which registers
are clobbered.

That said it will probably be a long time until we can drop support for
older compilers.  So for now the manual method is still needed.
