Some compilers incorrectly inline small __no_kcsan functions, which then results in instrumenting the accesses. For this reason, the 'noinline' attribute was added to __no_kcsan_or_inline. All known versions of GCC are affected by this. Supported versions of Clang are unaffected, and never inline a no_sanitize function. However, the attribute 'noinline' in __no_kcsan_or_inline causes unexpected code generation in functions that are __no_kcsan and call a __no_kcsan_or_inline function. In certain situations it is expected that the __no_kcsan_or_inline function is actually inlined by the __no_kcsan function, and *no* calls are emitted. By removing the 'noinline' attribute, give the compiler the ability to inline and generate the expected code in __no_kcsan functions.

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.
