v3: - split up and drop __init vs inline patches that went via arch trees - apply feedback about preferring __init to __always_inline - incorporate Ritesh Harjani's patch for __init cleanups in powerpc - wider build testing on older compilers v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250523043251.it.550-kees@kernel.org/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250507180852.work.231-kees@kernel.org/
Hi,
As part of looking at what GCC plugins could be replaced with Clang implementations, this series uses the recently landed stack depth tracking callback in Clang[1] to implement the stackleak feature. Since the Clang feature is now landed, I'm moving this out of RFC to a v1.
Since this touches a lot of arch-specific Makefiles, I tried to trim the CC list down to just mailing lists in those cases, otherwise the CC was giant.
Thanks!
