Subject: [PATCH v2] iommu/generic_pt: use __always_inline for amdv1pt_install_leaf_entry()
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 20:01:17 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409170117.2014479-2-khorenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409170117.2014479-1-khorenko@virtuozzo.com>
With -fprofile-update=atomic in CFLAGS_GCOV, GCC fails to eliminate
an impossible branch in FIELD_PREP() inside amdv1pt_install_leaf_entry()
when the function is merely "static inline". GCC may choose not to
inline it, and without seeing the constant arguments at the call site
it cannot prove the FIELD_PREP value fits the field.
Change from "static inline" to "static __always_inline" so GCC is
forced to inline the function and can see the constant values,
allowing dead code elimination of the impossible branch.
