Two 'static inline' TDX helper functions (sc_retry() and sc_retry_prerr()) take function pointer arguments which refer to assembly functions. Normally, the compiler inlines the TDX helper, realizes that the function pointer targets are completely static -- thus can be resolved at compile time -- and generates direct call instructions. But, other times (like when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y), the compiler declines to inline the helpers and will instead generate indirect call instructions. Indirect calls to assembly functions require special annotation (for various Control Flow Integrity mechanisms). But TDX assembly functions lack the special annotations and can only be called directly. Annotate both the helpers as '__always_inline' to prod the compiler into maintaining the direct calls. There is no guarantee here, but Peter has volunteered to report the compiler bug if this assumption ever breaks[1].

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 reStructuredText 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.
