[PATCH 1/3] rcu: Always inline rcu_dynticks_task*_{enter,exit}()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Sep 28 2021 - 04:44:34 EST


RCU managed to grow a few noinstr violations:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter()+0x0: call to rcu_dynticks_task_trace_enter() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit()+0xe: call to rcu_dynticks_task_trace_exit() leaves .noinstr.text section

Fix them by adding __always_inline to the relevant trivial functions.

Also replace the noinstr with __always_inline for the existing
rcu_dynticks_task_*() functions since noinstr would force noinline
them, even when empty, which seems silly.

Fixes: 7d0c9c50c5a1 ("rcu-tasks: Avoid IPIing userspace/idle tasks if kernel is so built")
