Subject: [PATCH] x86/pgtable: Always inline p4d_index
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:45:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181210234538.5405-1-natechancellor@gmail.com> (raw)
When building an allyesconfig build with Clang, the kernel fails to link
arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o because of a failed BUILD_BUG_ON:
ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings':
(.text+0x8e5): undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_277'
Since there are several BUILD_BUG_ONs in efi_64.c, I isolated it down to
the following:
BUILD_BUG_ON(p4d_index(EFI_VA_END) != p4d_index(MODULES_END));
After some research, it turns out that there is a new config option
called NO_AUTO_INLINE, which adds '-fno-inline-functions' to
KBUILD_CFLAGS so that the compiler does not auto inline small functions,
which causes this BUILD_BUG_ON to fail because p4d_index is no longer an
integer constant expression.
According to the help text of the config, functions explicitly marked
inline should still be inlined. As it turns out, GCC and Clang both
support '-fno-inline-functions' but Clang only inlines functions when
they are marked with an always inline annotation[1].
Since it's expected that p4d_index should always be inlined so that its
value can be evaluated at build time, mark it as __always_inline.
