Subject: [GIT PULL] percpu changes for v5.12-rc1
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 03:27:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YDR2LTclQGy7OHKc@google.com> (raw)

Hi Linus,

Percpu had a cleanup come in that makes use of the cpu bitmask helpers
instead of the current iterative approach. This clean up has an adverse
interaction when clang's inlining sensitivity is changed such that
not all sites are inlined resulting in modpost being upset with section
mismatch due to percpu setup being marked __init. It is fixed by
introducing __flatten to compiler_attributes.h. This has been supported
since clang 3.5 and gcc 4.4 [1].
