Impact: Fix compile time warning.
The function audit_set_auditable called when CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE is set.
When CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE is not set then it might be unused, which
generates the following warning. Making audit_set_auditable function
inline fixes this problem. If anything else please notice.

Blech. That's abuse of inline. Can you find some other, more kernel-y
way to address the issue? (Possibly make it an actual inline up in a .h
file, with a #ifdef wrapping around it, or do something matching what's
done at the call site (apparently #ifdef'ing code is accepted in that .c
file, adding another #ifdef around that function to match all the *other*
'#ifdef CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE' would be less ugly than 'inline'.

Hi, Valdis. Thanks for your suggestions. Actually without inline-ing
the warning doesn't resolves. So, as you said I moved
audit_set_auditable function into kernel/audit.h, but not #ifdef
wrapping around it rather #ifdef into it. Since wrapping #ifdef
generates same warning few times more. Here is the patch. If I miss
anything, then please notice.

i dont see how this is an improvement in code quality. A non-oneliner
function got inlined and an ugly #ifdef got added.

We can just move the function inside an existing ifdef block.

That file takes a rather unpleasing approach to this problem. Things
like
static void unroll_tree_refs(struct audit_context *ctx,
struct audit_tree_refs *p, int count)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE
struct audit_tree_refs *q;
int n;
if (!p) {

p = ctx->first_trees;
count = 31;
/* if the very first allocation has failed, nothing to do */
if (!p)
return;
}

}
all over the place. It needs help.
