From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: bitops: always inline sign extension helpers With CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, objtool reports: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool: i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl()+0x5b7: call to gen8_canonical_addr() with UACCESS enabled This means i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl() is calling gen8_canonical_addr() from the user_access_begin/end critical region (i.e, with SMAP disabled). While it's probably harmless in this case, in general we like to avoid extra function calls in SMAP-disabled regions because it can open up inadvertent security holes. Fix the warning by changing the sign extension helpers to __always_inline. This convinces GCC to inline gen8_canonical_addr(). The sign extension functions are trivial anyway, so it makes sense to always inline them. With my test optimize-for-size-based config, this actually shrinks the text size of i915_gem_execbuffer.o by 45 bytes -- and no change for vmlinux.
