    ARM: mm: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline · a9ff6961
    Linus Walleij authored
    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
    <asm/page.h>, so this must be included *before* <asm/memory.h>.
    
    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 <asm/page.h> at the top of
    <asm/memory.h> does not work, because <asm/memory.h> sometimes
    includes <asm/page.h> at the end of itself, which would create a
    confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always
    unconditionally include <asm/page.h> at the end of <asm/memory.h>
    
    arch/arm uses <asm/memory.h> explicitly in a lot of places,
    however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include
    <asm/memory.h> into <asm/page.h> and switch all inclusions of
    <asm/memory.h> to <asm/page.h> instead, we enforce the right
    order and <asm/memory.h> will always have access to the
    definitions.
    
    Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include
    <asm/memory.h> explicitly.
