ARM: Hide finish_arch_post_lock_switch() from modules
The introduction of switch_mm_irqs_off() brought back an old bug regarding the use of preempt_enable_no_resched: As part of: 62b94a0 ("sched/preempt: Take away preempt_enable_no_resched() from modules") the definition of preempt_enable_no_resched() is only available in built-in code, not in loadable modules, so we can't generally use it from header files. However, the ARM version of finish_arch_post_lock_switch() calls preempt_enable_no_resched() and is defined as a static inline function in asm/mmu_context.h. This in turn means we cannot include asm/mmu_context.h from modules. With today's tip tree, asm/mmu_context.h gets included from linux/mmu_context.h, which is normally the exact pattern one would expect, but unfortunately, linux/mmu_context.h can be included from the vhost driver that is a loadable module, now causing this compile time error with modular configs: In file included from ../include/linux/mmu_context.h:4:0, from ../drivers/vhost/vhost.c:18: ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch': ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:88:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] preempt_enable_no_resched(); Andy already tried to fix the bug by including linux/preempt.h from asm/mmu_context.h, but that didn't help. Arnd suggested reordering the header files, which wasn't popular, so let's use this workaround instead: The finish_arch_post_lock_switch() definition is now also hidden inside of #ifdef MODULE, so we don't see anything referencing preempt_enable_no_resched() from a header file. I've built a few hundred randconfig kernels with this, and did not see any new problems.
