[ Upstream commit eed5fae00593ab9d261a0c1ffc1bdb786a87a55a ]
The code relies on constant folding of cpu_has_feature() based
on possible and always true values as defined per
CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS and CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE.
Build failure is encountered with for instance
book3e_all_defconfig on kisskb in the AMDGPU driver which uses
cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_VSX_COMP) to decide whether calling
kernel_enable_vsx() or not.
The failure is due to cpu_has_feature() not being inlined with
that configuration with gcc 4.9.
In the same way as commit acdad8fb4a15 ("powerpc: Force inlining of
mmu_has_feature to fix build failure"), for inlining of
cpu_has_feature().

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.
