Florian reports that when building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y, he sees "Misaligned patch-site" warnings at boot, e.g. | Misaligned patch-site bcm2836_arm_irqchip_handle_irq+0x0/0x88 | WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c:120 ftrace_call_adjust+0x4c/0x70 This is because GCC will silently ignore `-falign-functions=N` when passed `-Os`, resulting in functions not being aligned as we expect. This is a known issue, and to account for this we modified the kernel to avoid `-Os` generally. Unfortunately we forgot to account for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. Forbid the use of CALL_OPS with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y to prevent this issue. All exising ftrace features will work as before, though without the performance benefit of CALL_OPS.

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.
