This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit aeea3592a13bf12861943e44fc48f1f270941f8d upstream.
With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of gcc and
clang), "extern inline" does the wrong thing (emits code for an externally
linkable version of the inline function). In this case using static inline
and removing the NULL version of return_address in return_address.c does
the right thing.
