KernelCI reports that bcm2835_defconfig is no longer booting since commitac7c3e4ff4("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly") (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/26/825). I also received a regression report from Nicolas Saenz Julienne (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/27/263). This problem has cropped up on bcm2835_defconfig because it enables CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. The compiler tends to prefer not inlining functions with -Os. I was able to reproduce it with other boards and defconfig files by manually enabling CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. The __get_user_check() specifically uses r0, r1, r2 registers. So, uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() must be inlined. Otherwise, those register assignments would be entirely dropped, according to my analysis of the disassembly. Prior to commit9012d01166("compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), the 'inline' marker was always enough for inlining functions, except on x86. Since that commit, all architectures can enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING. So, __always_inline is now the only guaranteed way of forcible inlining. I added __always_inline to 4 functions in the call-graph from the __get_user_check() macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
