A recent change to the optimization pipeline in LLVM reveals some
fragility around the inlining of LoongArch's __percpu functions, which
manifests as a BUILD_BUG() failure:

If these functions are not inlined (which the compiler is free to do
even with functions marked with the standard 'inline' keyword), the
BUILD_BUG() in the default case cannot be eliminated since the compiler
cannot prove it is never used, resulting in a build failure due to the
error attribute.
Mark these functions as __always_inline to guarantee inlining so that
the BUILD_BUG() only triggers when the default case genuinely cannot be
eliminated due to an unexpected size.

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.
