I was a bit confused when reading the gcc bug reports, i.e. why gcc
did *not* complain in 4.9 but it did in 5.1 (when it was supposed to
complain also in 4.9). It turns out that gcc 5.1 takes into account
who is the actual caller due to this change:

+  cgraph_node *caller = e->caller->global.inlined_to
+                       ? e->caller->global.inlined_to : e->caller;
...
-  else if (!sanitize_attrs_match_for_inline_p (e->caller->decl, callee->decl))
+  else if (!sanitize_attrs_match_for_inline_p (caller->decl, callee->decl))

change; e.g. this:

#define really_inline inline __attribute__((always_inline))
#define no_sanitize __attribute__((no_sanitize_address))

really_inline void f() {}
really_inline void g() { f(); }
no_sanitize void h() { g(); }

Complains in gcc 4.9 -O0, 5.1 -O0 and 5.1 -O2; but *not* in 4.9 -O2.

Anyway, this is orthogonal but in case it clarifies that for someone else...

I was sleeping, didn't manage to see it (in your GitHub, I guess?).

I did the merge myself, and arrived at the same thing as you. I
quickly inspected the rest and seems fine. By the way, I spotted an
extra space at:

+ * we do one or the other.

Cheers,
Miguel
