ok, agreed. I was hoping for some more generic workaround but nothing
seemed to keep gcc from inlining such functions.
Here's the irq-fixes-for-linus-3 that has this fixed, via:
b2e2fe9: sparseirq: work around __weak alias bug
which moves the weak arch_init_chip_data() alias from handle.c to
manage.c. Please pull the fix from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git irq-fixes-for-linus-3
[ the shortlog is relative to irq-core-for-linus. The other URIs i sent
are also valid and can be pulled in arbitrary order. ]
Thanks,
Ingo
------------------>
Ingo Molnar (3):
sparseirq: do not printk when migrating IRQ descriptors
sparseirq: fix desc->lock init
sparseirq: work around __weak alias bug
KOSAKI Motohiro (4):
hrtimer: remove #include <linux/irq.h>
irq: for_each_irq_desc() move to irqnr.h
proc: remove ifdef CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ from stat.c
irq: simplify for_each_irq_desc() usage
Yinghai Lu (4):
sparseirq: remove duplicated arch_early_irq_init()
sparseirq: work around compiler optimizing away __weak functions
sparseirq: set lock_class for legacy irq when sparse_irq is selected
sparseirq: fix hang with !SPARSE_IRQ
