      stop_machine: mark helpers __always_inline · cbf78d85
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      With clang-13, some functions only get partially inlined, with a
specialized version referring to a global variable.  This triggers a
harmless build-time check for the intel-rng driver:

WARNING: modpost: drivers/char/hw_random/intel-rng.o(.text+0xe): Section mismatch in reference from the function stop_machine() to the function .init.text:intel_rng_hw_init()
The function stop_machine() references
the function __init intel_rng_hw_init().
This is often because stop_machine lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of intel_rng_hw_init is wrong.

In this instance, an easy workaround is to force the stop_machine()
function to be inline, along with related interfaces that did not show the
same behavior at the moment, but theoretically could.

The combination of the two patches listed below triggers the behavior in
clang-13, but individually these commits are correct.

      memblock: fix section mismatch warning · 34dc2efb
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      The inlining logic in clang-13 is rewritten to often not inline some
functions that were inlined by all earlier compilers.

In case of the memblock interfaces, this exposed a harmless bug of a
missing __init annotation:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x507c0a): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_bottom_up() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock
The function memblock_bottom_up() references
the variable __meminitdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_bottom_up lacks a __meminitdata
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.

Interestingly, these annotations were present originally, but got removed
with the explanation that the __init annotation prevents the function from
getting inlined.  I checked this again and found that while this is the
case with clang, gcc (version 7 through 10, did not test others) does
inline the functions regardless.

As the previous change was apparently intended to help the clang builds,
reverting it to help the newer clang versions seems appropriate as well.
gcc builds don't seem to care either way.
