Gcc inlining is a total piece of sh*t. The static inlining by default (unfortunately) saves a lot of text size. For testing I built an x86-64 allyesconfig kernel with -fno-inline-functions-called-once (which disables the default static inlining), and it increased text size by ~4.1% (over 2MB for a allyesconfig kernel). So I think we have to keep that, dropping it would cost too much :/ -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
