If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann commit 4c9ad387aa2d6785299722e54224d34764edaeb3 upstream. gcc-16 has gained some more advanced inter-procedual optimization techniques that enable it to inline the dummy_tlb_add_page() and dummy_tlb_flush() function pointers into a specialized version of __arm_v7s_unmap: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __arm_v7s_unmap+0x2cc (section: .text) -> dummy_tlb_add_page (section: .init.text) ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected. >>From what I can tell, the transformation is correct, as this is only called when __arm_v7s_unmap() is called from arm_v7s_do_selftests(), which is also __init. Since __arm_v7s_unmap() however is not __init, gcc cannot inline the inner function calls directly. In debug_objects_selftest(), the same thing happens. Both the caller and the leaf function are __init, but the IPA pulls it into a non-init one: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: lookup_object_or_alloc+0x7c (section: .text.lookup_object_or_alloc) -> is_static_object (section: .init.text) Marking the affected functions as not "__init" would reliably avoid this issue but is not a good solution because it removes an otherwise correct annotation. I tried marking the functions as 'noinline', but that ended up not covering all the affected configurations. With some more experimenting, I found that marking these functions as __attribute__((noipa)) is both logical and reliable. In order to keep the syntax readable, add a custom macro for this in include/linux/compiler_attributes.h next to other related macros and use it to annotate both files.
