commit d197a253855d2d8e507a003880aab35c4e2473db upstream.
Fix a commit 311ee9c151ad ("rtc: cmos: allow using ACPI for RTC alarm
instead of HPET") `rtc-cmos' regression causing a link error:
drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.o: In function `cmos_platform_probe':
rtc-cmos.c:(.init.text+0x33c): undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt'
rtc-cmos.c:(.init.text+0x3f4): undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt'
with non-ACPI platforms using this driver. The cause is the change of
the condition guarding the use of `hpet_rtc_interrupt'.
Previously it was a call to `is_hpet_enabled'. That function is static
inline and has a hardcoded 0 result for non-ACPI platforms, which imply
!HPET_EMULATE_RTC. Consequently the compiler optimized the whole block
away including the reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt', which never made
it to the link stage.
Now the guarding condition is a call to `use_hpet_alarm', which is not
static inline and therefore the compiler may not be able to prove that
it actually always returns 0 for non-ACPI platforms. Consequently the
build breaks with an unsatisfied reference, because `hpet_rtc_interrupt'
is nowhere defined at link time.
Fix the problem by marking `use_hpet_alarm' inline. As the `inline'
keyword serves as an optimization hint rather than a requirement the
compiler is still free to choose whether inlining will be beneficial or
not for ACPI platforms.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
