Subject: [PATCH] Revert "dynamic_debug: Remove unnecessary __used"
Date:   Mon, 11 May 2020 11:26:58 -0700
Message-Id: <1589221618-21808-1-git-send-email-eberman@codeaurora.org>

This reverts commit c0d2af637863940b1a4fb208224ca7acb905c39f.

Some compilers[1] may break dynamic_hex_dump by optimizing the
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BRANCH check inside __dynamic_func_call_no_desc and completely
removing the dynamic debug metadata. Thus, there is no dynamic_debug control
site to enable or disable. The if condition is optimized away based on the
initial value of flags (i.e. if DEBUG macro is present).

[1]: This behavior is present on [aarch64-gnu-linux-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro
5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609] and [Android Common Kernel
toolchain: "Android (6051079 based on r370808) clang version
10.0.1"] using arm64 default defconfig + DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
