powerpc/signal32: Force inlining of __unsafe_save_user_regs() and save_tm_user_regs_unsafe()
Looking at generated code for handle_signal32() shows calls to a function called __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 while user access is open. And that __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 function has two nops at the begining, allowing it to be traced, which is unexpected during user access open window. The solution could be to mark __unsafe_save_user_regs() no trace, but to be on the safe side the most efficient is to flag it __always_inline as already done for function __unsafe_restore_general_regs(). The function is relatively small and only called twice, so the size increase will remain in the noise. Do the same with save_tm_user_regs_unsafe() as it may suffer the same issue.

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.
