From: Arnd Bergmann <ar...@arndb.de>

clang cannt evaluate this function argument at compile time
when the function is not inlined, which leads to a link
time failure:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __compiletime_assert_414
>>> referenced by mremap.c
>>> mremap.o:(get_extent) in archive mm/built-in.a

Mark the function as __always_inline to avoid it.

The subject should say BUILD_BUG()

Not sure if it's the ideal fix, maybe just convert it to BUG() instead?
Functions shouldn't really have BUILD_BUG depending on parameters and rely on
inlining to make it work...

I think it's rather this one that introduces the BUILD_BUG() ?
c49dd3401802 ("mm: speedup mremap on 1GB or larger regions")

I am in agreement with Vlastimil, I would rather see the BUILD_BUG()
dropped or converted into BUG() instead of papering over with
__always_inline. For what it's worth, I only see this build failure
with CONFIG_UBSAN_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW, which you proposed disabling:

I see your point, but I also generally prefer build-time checks over
runtime ones wherever possible, and would prefer a way to keep
it in a form that allows that, at least if the check is considered useful
at all.

I'm building more randconfig kernels without this patch but with the
__always_inline
reverted now, will see if it comes back. If not, let's just drop this patch.

I would like to see some movement on getting this fixed in 5.11. As it
stands, this is one of three __compiletime_assert references with
CONFIG_UBSAN_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW. If we want to keep the BUILD_BUG()
around, I think this is fine. Alternatively, turning it into a runtime
check would be fine too.

I have this patch in my custom 5.11 queue.

Ping? It is pretty late into the 5.11 cycle and this is still broken.

I think we should just do the __always_inline. Who can take this?

This should probably go through -mm, unless we get an ack then Nick and
I could take it.

Thank you! I did not see an email but it looks like my tag did not make
it on to the patch so that would make sense. It would be great if this
could get into 5.11 but if not, we can always backport it

Cheers,
Nathan
