It's unfortunately not. It doesn't inline a lot of simple asm() inlines
for example.

Reading Ingos posting with the actual numbers states the opposite.


Well, Andi's patch forcing inlining of the bitops chops quite a bit of size off the kernel, so there is clearly room for improvement. From my post yesterday:

: voreg 64 ; size o.*/vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex     filename
57590217 24940519 15560504 98091240 5d8c0e8 o.andi/vmlinux
59421552 24912223 15560504 99894279 5f44407 o.noopt/vmlinux
57700527 24950719 15560504 98211750 5da97a6 o.opty/vmlinux

110 KB of code size reduction by force-inlining the small bitops.
