GCC < 12.1 can miscompile printf_kunit's errptr() test when branch
profiling is enabled. BUILD_BUG_ON(IS_ERR(PTR)) is a constant false
expression, but CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING and
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES make the IS_ERR() path side-effectful.
GCC's IPA splitter can then outline the cold assert arm into
errptr.part.* and leave that clone with an unconditional
__compiletime_assert_*() call, causing a false build failure.
This started showing up after test_hashed() became a macro and moved its
local buffer into errptr(), which changed GCC's inlining and splitting
decisions enough to expose the compiler bug.
Workaround the problem by disabling the branch profiling for
printf_kunit.o. It is a straightforward and acceptable solution.
The workaround can be removed once the minimum GCC includes commit
76fe49423047 ("Fix tree-optimization/101941: IPA splitting out
function with error attribute"), which first shipped in GCC 12.1.
Fixes: 9bfa52dac2 ("printf: convert test_hashed into macro")
