Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 03/13] arm64: ptrace: Always inline pt_regs_[read,write}_reg()
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:02:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ffcf7916-e1d4-464f-b30e-50ce07035b69@huawei.com> (raw)

在 2026/7/28 20:38, Mark Rutland 写道:
> In subsequent patches we'll want to use pt_regs_read_reg() and
> pt_regs_write_reg() in noinstr code.
>
> To ensure noinstr safety, both functions must be inlined into their
> caller. As both functions are marked as 'inline' rather than
> '__always_inline', that's not strictly guaranteed, and the compiler is
> permitted to generate out-of-line copies.

> Mark both functions as '__always_inline' to ensure this.
