For all changlogs, it's probably worth clarifying that they have _global_ labels,
e.g. local labels within an asm block are perfectly ok for inlining, as are local
labels in the function (but outside of the block) used by asm goto.

And maybe add a "#define noinline ..." to match the kernel and convert the two
existing uses in pmu_lbr.c as a prep patch?
