Subject: [PATCH v9 4/5] x86/cpuid: fix unbootable VMs by really inlining memcmp() in hypervisor_cpuid_base()
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 15:33:20 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822-pvh-kasan-inline-v9-4-e70ef3b75b6a@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260822-pvh-kasan-inline-v9-0-e70ef3b75b6a@igalia.com>
Even with __builtin the compiler may decide to use the out of line function
instead of the inline implementation.
The existing code is broken with gcc-14/15 but not gcc-12/13 (Ubuntu 25.10)
and vmlinux no longer boots with CONFIG_PVH if CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC is set.
For testing purposes, if the size argument is reduced from 12 to 8 then the
compiler decides to use the inline implementation; that shows results vary.
Switch the builtin to the inline implementation to address it.
