This patch results in:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:140: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions
mm/slub.c: In function 'slab_alloc.constprop':
mm/slub.c:2897:30: error: inlining failed in call to always_inline 'slab_alloc.constprop': recursive inlining
static __always_inline void *slab_alloc(struct kmem_cache *s,

and many similar messages when trying to build mips:64r6el_defconfig
or mips:defconfig. Bisect log attached.
