Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies which make use of the EX_TABLE or
ALTERNATIVE macros.
These macros expand to many lines and the compiler assumes the number of
lines within an inline assembly is the same as the number of instructions
within an inline assembly. This has an effect on inlining and loop
unrolling decisions.
In order to avoid incorrect assumptions use asm_inline, which tells the
compiler that an inline assembly has the smallest possible size.
In order to avoid confusion when asm_inline should be used or not, since a
couple of inline assemblies are quite large: the rule is to always use
asm_inline whenever the EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE macro is used. In specific
cases there may be reasons to not follow this guideline, but that should
be documented with the corresponding code.
Using the inline qualifier everywhere has only a small effect on the kernel
image size:
add/remove: 0/10 grow/shrink: 19/8 up/down: 1492/-1858 (-366)
The only location where this seems to matter is load_unaligned_zeropad()
from word-at-a-time.h where the compiler inlines more functions within the
dcache code, which is indeed code where performance matters.

Retrieve electrical power readings for resources in a computing
environment via diag 0x324. diag 0x324 stores the power readings in the
power information block (pib).
Provide power readings from pib via diag324 ioctl interface. diag324
ioctl provides new pib to the user only if the threshold time has passed
since the last call. Otherwise, cache data is returned. When there are
no active readers, cleanup of pib buffer is performed.
