percpu: fix clang modpost section mismatch
pcpu_build_alloc_info() is an __init function that makes a call to
cpumask_clear_cpu(). With CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabled, the inline
heuristics are modified and such cpumask_clear_cpu() which is marked
inline doesn't get inlined. Because it works on mask in __initdata,
modpost throws a section mismatch error.
Arnd sent a patch with the flatten attribute as an alternative [2]. I've
added it to compiler_attributes.h.
modpost complaint:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x735425): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpumask_clear_cpu() to the variable .init.data:pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask
The function cpumask_clear_cpu() references
the variable __initdata pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask.
This is often because cpumask_clear_cpu lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask is wrong.
clang output:
mm/percpu.c:2724:5: remark: cpumask_clear_cpu not inlined into pcpu_build_alloc_info because too costly to inline (cost=725, threshold=325) [-Rpass-missed=inline]
