Perhaps move these last 2 defines below the #endif
as they are common to both cases
#if !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING) || \
!defined(CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING) || (__GNUC__ < 4)
#define inline inline __attribute__((always_inline, unused, gnu_inline)) notrace
#else
/* A lot of inline functions can cause havoc with function tracing */
#define inline inline __attribute__((unused, gnu_inline)) notrace
#endif
#define __inline__ inline
#define __inline inline
#define __always_inline inline __attribute__((always_inline))
