x86: Handle KCOV __init vs inline mismatches
GCC appears to have kind of fragile inlining heuristics, in the sense that it can change whether or not it inlines something based on optimizations. It looks like the kcov instrumentation being added (or in this case, removed) from a function changes the optimization results, and some functions marked "inline" are _not_ inlined. In that case, we end up with __init code calling a function not marked __init, and we get the build warnings I'm trying to eliminate in the coming patch that adds __no_sanitize_coverage to __init functions: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: xbc_exit+0x8 (section: .text.unlikely) -> _xbc_exit (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: real_mode_size_needed+0x15 (section: .text.unlikely) -> real_mode_blob_end (section: .init.data) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __set_percpu_decrypted+0x16 (section: .text.unlikely) -> early_set_memory_decrypted (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: memblock_alloc_from+0x26 (section: .text.unlikely) -> memblock_alloc_try_nid (section: .init.text) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: acpi_arch_set_root_pointer+0xc (section: .text.unlikely) -> x86_init (section: .init.data) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: acpi_arch_get_root_pointer+0x8 (section: .text.unlikely) -> x86_init (section: .init.data) WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: efi_config_table_is_usable+0x16 (section: .text.unlikely) -> xen_efi_config_table_is_usable (section: .init.text) This problem is somewhat fragile (though using either __always_inline or __init will deterministically solve it), but we've tripped over this before with GCC and the solution has usually been to just use __always_inline and move on. For x86 this means forcing several functions to be inline with __always_inline. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724055029.3623499-2-kees@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
