<id>a9ff6961601d9aa0c42b6eb7d850371f31b1f5e6</id>
<content type='text'>
Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.

Doing this is a bit intrusive: virt_to_pfn() requires
PHYS_PFN_OFFSET and PAGE_SHIFT to be defined, and this is defined in
&lt;asm/page.h&gt;, so this must be included *before* &lt;asm/memory.h&gt;.

The use of macros were obscuring the unclear inclusion order here,
as the macros would eventually be resolved, but a static inline
like this cannot be compiled with unresolved macros.

The naive solution to include &lt;asm/page.h&gt; at the top of
&lt;asm/memory.h&gt; does not work, because &lt;asm/memory.h&gt; sometimes
includes &lt;asm/page.h&gt; at the end of itself, which would create a
confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always
unconditionally include &lt;asm/page.h&gt; at the end of &lt;asm/memory.h&gt;

arch/arm uses &lt;asm/memory.h&gt; explicitly in a lot of places,
however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include
&lt;asm/memory.h&gt; into &lt;asm/page.h&gt; and switch all inclusions of
&lt;asm/memory.h&gt; to &lt;asm/page.h&gt; instead, we enforce the right
order and &lt;asm/memory.h&gt; will always have access to the
definitions.

Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include
&lt;asm/memory.h&gt; explicitly.

<title>ARM: 9140/1: allow compile-testing without machine record</title>

A lot of randconfig builds end up not selecting any machine type at
all. This is generally fine for the purpose of compile testing, but
of course it means that the kernel is not usable on actual hardware,
and it causes a warning about this fact.

As most of the build bots now force-enable CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST for
randconfig builds, use that as a guard to control whether we warn
on this type of broken configuration.

We could do the same for the missing-cpu-type warning, but those
configurations fail to build much earlier.

<title>ARM: 9141/1: only warn about XIP address when not compile testing</title>

In randconfig builds, we sometimes come across this warning:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: XIP start address may cause MPU programming issues

While this is helpful for actual systems to figure out why it
fails, the warning does not provide any benefit for build testing,
so guard it in a check for CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, which is usually
set on randconfig builds.

When frame pointers are used instead of the ARM unwinder,
and the kernel is built using clang with an external assembler
and CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL, every file produces two warnings
like:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.ARM.extab' from `net/mac802154/util.o' being placed in section `.ARM.extab'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.ARM.exidx' from `net/mac802154/util.o' being placed in section `.ARM.exidx'

The same fix was already merged for the normal (non-XIP)

linker script, with a longer description.
