Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] sched.h: always_inline alloc_tag_{save|restore} to fix modpost warnings
Date: Thu,  4 Jul 2024 06:25:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240704132506.1011978-1-surenb@google.com> (raw)

Mark alloc_tag_{save|restore} as always_inline to fix the following
modpost warnings:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: alloc_tag_save+0x1c (section: .text.unlikely) -> initcall_level_names (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: alloc_tag_restore+0x3c (section: .text.unlikely) -> initcall_level_names (section: .init.data)

The warnings happen when these functions are called from an __init
function and they don't get inlined (remain in the .text section) while
the value returned by get_current() points into .init.data section.
Assuming get_current() always returns a valid address, this situation can
happen only during init stage and accessing .init.data from .text section
during that stage should pose no issues.

Fixes: 22d407b164ff ("lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202407032306.gi9nZsBi-lkp@intel.com/
