After commitac7c3e4ff4("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly"), a compiler may choose not to inline a function marked with just 'inline'. If check_bugs() is not inlined into start_kernel(), which occurs when building with clang after commit9ea7e6b62c("init: Mark [arch_call_]rest_init() __noreturn"), modpost complains with: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: check_bugs (section: .text) -> check_bugs32 (section: .init.text) check_bugs() is only called from start_kernel(), which itself is marked __init, so there would not be any issues at run time. Make it obvious to modpost that this call chain is safe by marking check_bugs() as __init, which fixes the warning.

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.
