The git bisect pointed out the first bad commit.

The first bad commit:
commit 928cf6adc7d60c96eca760c05c1000cda061604e
Author: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

module: add printk formats to add module build ID to stacktraces

Your git bisect probably went astray. There's no way that commit
caused that regression.

My bisect landed on commit 83f85ac75855 ("mm/mremap: convert huge PUD
move to separate helper"). flush_pud_tlb_range() evaluates to
BUILD_BUG() when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is unset but this function
is present just based on the value of
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.

$ make -skj(nproc) ARCH=x86_64 CC=clang O=build/x86_64 distclean allnoconfig mm/mremap.o

$ llvm-readelf -s build/x86_64/mm/mremap.o &| rg __compiletime_assert
21: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __compiletime_assert_337

$ rg TRANSPARENT_ build/x86_64/.config
450:CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
451:CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD=y
562:# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set

Not sure why this does not happen on newer clang versions, presumably
something with inlining decisions? Still seems like a legitimate issue
to me.


gcc 10 also doesn't give a build error. I guess that is because we evaluate

if (pud_trans_huge(*old_pud) || pud_devmap(*old_pud)) {

to if (0) with CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE disabled.

switching that to if (1) do results in BUILD_BUG triggering.

Should we fix this ?
