    x86/paravirt: Make native_save_fl() extern inline · d0a8d937
    Nick Desaulniers authored
    native_save_fl() is marked static inline, but by using it as
    a function pointer in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c, it MUST be outlined.
    
    paravirt's use of native_save_fl() also requires that no GPRs other than
    %rax are clobbered.
    
    Compilers have different heuristics which they use to emit stack guard
    code, the emittance of which can break paravirt's callee saved assumption
    by clobbering %rcx.
    
    Marking a function definition extern inline means that if this version
    cannot be inlined, then the out-of-line version will be preferred. By
    having the out-of-line version be implemented in assembly, it cannot be
    instrumented with a stack protector, which might violate custom calling
    conventions that code like paravirt rely on.
    
    The semantics of extern inline has changed since gnu89. This means that
    folks using GCC versions >= 5.1 may see symbol redefinition errors at
    link time for subdirs that override KBUILD_CFLAGS (making the C standard
    used implicit) regardless of this patch. This has been cleaned up
    earlier in the patch set, but is left as a note in the commit message
    for future travelers.
