Subject: compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
60a3cdd06394 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86.
The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config entry
from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all architectures
can benefit from it.
This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled.
For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1.
dec file
18983424 arch/arm64/boot/Image.before
18321920 arch/arm64/boot/Image.after
This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as
e61aca5158a8 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested;
this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.
