X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~175^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bc197e24a3acd13dd0b7b07c1448c5c225946546;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

rust: num: bounded: Always inline fits_within and from_expr

`from_expr` relies on `build_assert` to infer that the passed expression
fits the type's boundaries at build time. That inference can only be
successful its code (and that of `fits_within`, which performs the
check) is inlined, as a dedicated function would need to work with a
variable and cannot verify that property.

While inlining happens as expected in most cases, it is not guaranteed.
In particular, kernel options that optimize for size like
`CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE` can result in `from_expr` not being
inlined.

Add `#[inline(always)]` attributes to both `fits_within` and `from_expr`
to make the compiler inline these functions more aggressively, as it
does not make sense to use them non-inlined anyway.

[ For reference, the errors look like:

    ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: rust_build_error
    >>> referenced by build_assert.rs:83 (rust/kernel/build_assert.rs:83)
    >>>               rust/doctests_kernel_generated.o:(<kernel::num::bounded::Bounded<u8, 1>>::from_expr) in archive vmlinux.a
