# \[PATCH\] Partially revert "compiler: enable CONFIG\_OPTIMIZE\_INLINING forcibly" - From: Will Deacon \ - Date: 2019-09-30 11:45:48 - List: linux-arm-kernel - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-arm-kernel/2019/09/5729474 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-arm-kernel/2019/09/5729474/t.md ```text This reverts commit ac7c3e4ff401b304489a031938dbeaab585bfe0a for ARM and arm64. Building an arm64 kernel with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y has been shown to violate fixed register allocations of local variables passed to inline assembly with GCC prior to version 9 which can lead to subtle failures at runtime: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91111 A very similar has been reported for 32-bit ARM as well: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/f5c221f5749e5768c9f0d909175a14910d349456.camel@suse.de Although GCC 9.1 appears to work for the specific case in the bugzilla above, the exact issue has not been root-caused so play safe and disable the option for now on these architectures.
