Linux kernel source tree
bc197e24a3
`from_expr` relies on `build_assert` to infer that the passed expression
fits the type's boundaries at build time. That inference can only be
successful its code (and that of `fits_within`, which performs the
check) is inlined, as a dedicated function would need to work with a
variable and cannot verify that property.
While inlining happens as expected in most cases, it is not guaranteed.
In particular, kernel options that optimize for size like
`CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE` can result in `from_expr` not being
inlined.
Add `#[inline(always)]` attributes to both `fits_within` and `from_expr`
to make the compiler inline these functions more aggressively, as it
does not make sense to use them non-inlined anyway.
[ For reference, the errors look like:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: rust_build_error

>>> rust/doctests_kernel_generated.o:(<kernel::num::bounded::Bounded<u8, 1>>::from_expr) in archive vmlinux.a

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 reStructuredText 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.
