On a ppc32 build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE, trace_trigger_soft_disabled() appears more than 50 times in vmlinux. That function is rather big for an inlined function, and it doesn't benefit much from inlining as its only parameter is a pointer to a struct in memory: c003df60 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled>: c003df60: 94 21 ff f0 stwu r1,-16(r1) c003df64: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 c003df68: 90 01 00 14 stw r0,20(r1) c003df6c: bf c1 00 08 stmw r30,8(r1) c003df70: 83 e3 00 24 lwz r31,36(r3) c003df74: 73 e9 01 00 andi. r9,r31,256 c003df78: 41 82 00 10 beq c003df88 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x28> c003df7c: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c003df80: 39 61 00 10 addi r11,r1,16 c003df84: 4b fd 60 ac b c0014030 <_rest32gpr_30_x> c003df88: 73 e9 00 80 andi. r9,r31,128 c003df8c: 7c 7e 1b 78 mr r30,r3 c003df90: 41 a2 00 14 beq c003dfa4 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x44> c003df94: 38 c0 00 00 li r6,0 c003df98: 38 a0 00 00 li r5,0 c003df9c: 38 80 00 00 li r4,0 c003dfa0: 48 05 c5 f1 bl c009a590 <event_triggers_call> c003dfa4: 73 e9 00 40 andi. r9,r31,64 c003dfa8: 40 82 00 28 bne c003dfd0 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x70> c003dfac: 73 ff 02 00 andi. r31,r31,512 c003dfb0: 41 82 ff cc beq c003df7c <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x1c> c003dfb4: 80 01 00 14 lwz r0,20(r1) c003dfb8: 83 e1 00 0c lwz r31,12(r1) c003dfbc: 7f c3 f3 78 mr r3,r30 c003dfc0: 83 c1 00 08 lwz r30,8(r1) c003dfc4: 7c 08 03 a6 mtlr r0 c003dfc8: 38 21 00 10 addi r1,r1,16 c003dfcc: 48 05 6f 6c b c0094f38 <trace_event_ignore_this_pid> c003dfd0: 38 60 00 01 li r3,1 c003dfd4: 4b ff ff ac b c003df80 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x20> It doesn't benefit much from inlining as its only parameter is a pointer to a struct in memory so no constant folding is involved. Uninline it and move it into kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c It reduces the size of vmlinux by approximately 10 kbytes.
