percpu: fix clang modpost section mismatch
pcpu_build_alloc_info() is an __init function that makes a call to cpumask_clear_cpu(). With CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabled, the inline heuristics are modified and such cpumask_clear_cpu() which is marked inline doesn't get inlined. Because it works on mask in __initdata, modpost throws a section mismatch error. Arnd sent a patch with the flatten attribute as an alternative [2]. I've added it to compiler_attributes.h. modpost complaint: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x735425): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpumask_clear_cpu() to the variable .init.data:pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask The function cpumask_clear_cpu() references the variable __initdata pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask. This is often because cpumask_clear_cpu lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask is wrong. clang output: mm/percpu.c:2724:5: remark: cpumask_clear_cpu not inlined into pcpu_build_alloc_info because too costly to inline (cost=725, threshold=325) [-Rpass-missed=inline] [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202012220454.9F6Bkz9q-lkp@intel.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAK8P3a2ZWfNeXKSm8K_SUhhwkor17jFo3xApLXjzfPqX0eUDUA@mail.gmail.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org>
