      memblock: fix section mismatch warning · 34dc2efb
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      The inlining logic in clang-13 is rewritten to often not inline some
      functions that were inlined by all earlier compilers.
      
      In case of the memblock interfaces, this exposed a harmless bug of a
      missing __init annotation:
      
      WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x507c0a): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_bottom_up() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock
      The function memblock_bottom_up() references
      the variable __meminitdata memblock.
      This is often because memblock_bottom_up lacks a __meminitdata
      annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.
      
      Interestingly, these annotations were present originally, but got removed
      with the explanation that the __init annotation prevents the function from
      getting inlined.  I checked this again and found that while this is the
      case with clang, gcc (version 7 through 10, did not test others) does
      inline the functions regardless.
      
      As the previous change was apparently intended to help the clang builds,
      reverting it to help the newer clang versions seems appropriate as well.
      gcc builds don't seem to care either way.
