Actually, the nice part about "inline_hint" would be that then we could have some nice config option like #ifdef CONFIG_FULL_CALL_TRACE #define inline_hint noinline #elif defined(CONFIG_TRUST_COMPILER) #define inline_hint /* */ #else #define inline_hint __inline #endif and now the _only_ thing we need to do is to remove the #define __inline __force_inline thing, and just agree that "__inline" is the "native compiler meaning". We have a few users of "__inline", but not very many. We can leave them alone, or just convert them to __inline__ or inline.
