When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is enabled, the function native_set_p4d()
may not be fully inlined into the caller, resulting in a false-positive
warning about an access to the __pgtable_l5_enabled variable from a
non-__init function, despite the original caller being an __init function:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1429): Section mismatch in reference from the function native_set_p4d() to the variable .init.data:__pgtable_l5_enabled
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1429): Section mismatch in reference from the function native_p4d_clear() to the variable .init.data:__pgtable_l5_enabled
The function native_set_p4d() references the variable __initdata
__pgtable_l5_enabled. This is often because native_set_p4d lacks a
__initdata annotation or the annotation of __pgtable_l5_enabled is wrong.
Marking the native_set_p4d function and its caller native_p4d_clear()
avoids this problem.
I did not bisect the original cause, but I assume this is related to the
recent rework that turned pgtable_l5_enabled() into an inline function,
which in turn caused the compiler to make different inlining decisions.

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.
