x86: vget_cycles() __always_inline
Mark vget_cycles() as __always_inline, so gcc is never tempted to make the vsyscall vread_tsc() dive into kernel text, with resulting SIGSEGV. This was a self-inflicted wound: I've not seen that happen with unhacked sources; but for debug reasons I'd changed my x86/Makefile to compile no-unit-at-a-time, and that in conjunction with OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y ended up with vget_cycles() in kernel text. Perhaps it can happen in other ways: safer to use __always_inline. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
