x86/extable: Prefer local labels in .set directives
Bernardo reported an error that Nathan bisected down to (x86_64) defconfig+LTO_CLANG_FULL+X86_PMEM_LEGACY. LTO vmlinux.o ld.lld: error: <instantiation>:1:13: redefinition of 'found' .set found, 0 ^ <inline asm>:29:1: while in macro instantiation extable_type_reg reg=%eax, type=(17 | ((0) << 16)) ^ This appears to be another LTO specific issue similar to what was folded into commit 4b5305de ("x86/extable: Extend extable functionality"), where the `.set found, 0` in DEFINE_EXTABLE_TYPE_REG in arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h conflicts with the symbol for the static function `found` in arch/x86/kernel/pmem.c. Assembler .set directive declare symbols with global visibility, so the assembler may not rename such symbols in the event of a conflict. LTO could rename static functions if there was a conflict in C sources, but it cannot see into symbols defined in inline asm. The symbols are also retained in the symbol table, regardless of LTO. Give the symbols .L prefixes making them locally visible, so that they may be renamed for LTO to avoid conflicts, and to drop them from the symbol table regardless of LTO.
