Do the __hot and __cold markings really matter?
Some of them may be questionable.

Perhaps these should use pr_fmt

dynamic debug has __func__ available and perhaps
the function tracer might be used instead.

curious.

Maybe it'd be good to add a real __hot to compiler.h

some inconsistent indentation here and there

Anonymous unions are relatively rare

Some of the likely/unlikely uses may not
be useful/necessary.

		if (error)
			err = error;

is more obvious to me.
