This particular instance is fixed by the patch below. Hmm, I was considering the -Og support for the current MW, but it might be better to postpone it for 4.21-rc1... > Other symptoms caused by the change are tons of 'section mismatch' > warnings for functions that are no longer automatically inlined, and > sprintf format string overflow warnings when gcc fails to propagate > an upper bound on an integer argument that is printed into a fixed > length string. > > Arnd > --- > From 8172e650c6797b9cc64c6f7b1c9e5433156290cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> > Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:24:35 +0100 > Subject: [PATCH] vbox: fix link error with 'gcc -Og' > > With the new CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING option, we get a link > error in the vboxguest driver, when that fails to optimize out the > call to the compat handler: > > drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.o: In function `vbg_ioctl_hgcm_call': > vboxguest_core.c:(.text+0x1f6e): undefined reference to `vbg_hgcm_call32' > > Another compile-time check documents better what we want and avoids > the error. > > Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> > > diff --git a/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c > b/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c > index 3093655c7b92..1475ed5ffcde 100644 > --- a/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c > +++ b/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c > @@ -1312,7 +1312,7 @@ static int vbg_ioctl_hgcm_call(struct vbg_dev *gdev, > return -EINVAL; > } > > - if (f32bit) > + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) && f32bit) > ret = vbg_hgcm_call32(gdev, client_id, > call->function, call->timeout_ms, > VBG_IOCTL_HGCM_CALL_PARMS32(call), Right, but adding the CONFIG_COMPAT guard to both the caller and the callee looks a bit redundant... I think most cases causing this kind of problem rely on the assumption that 'static' functions are inlined. We can force the compiler to do so by replacing 'static' with 'static __always_inline' -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
