Commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") allows compiler to uninline functions marked as 'inline'.
In case of __xchg()/__cmpxchg() this would cause to reference
BUILD_BUG(), which is an error case for catching bugs and will not
happen for correct code, if __xchg()/__cmpxchg() is inlined.
This bug can be produced with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH enabled,
and the solution is similar to below commits:
46f1619500d0225 ("MIPS: include: Mark __xchg as __always_inline"),
88356d09904bc60 ("MIPS: include: Mark __cmpxchg as __always_inline").

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.
