gcc 12 does not (always) optimize away code that should only be generated
if parameters are constant and within in a certain range. This depends on
various obscure kernel config options, however in particular
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES can trigger this compile error:
In function ‘__atomic_add_const’,
inlined from ‘__preempt_count_add.part.0’ at ./arch/s390/include/asm/preempt.h:50:3:
./arch/s390/include/asm/atomic_ops.h:80:9: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’
80 | asm volatile( \
| ^~~
Workaround this by simply disabling the optimization for
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, since the kernel will be so slow, that this
optimization won't matter at all.

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 Restructured Text 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.
