note the last sentence of that doc
GCC does not inline any functions when not optimizing
unless you specify the `always_inline' attribute for the function,
like this:
Thus the inline keyword is always ignored by gcc if your not compiling
with optimization enabled.
Ok I read that link
"GCC does not inline any functions when not optimizing unless you specify

you mean to say the use of word static inline in functions written in timer.c will make sense only when gcc is used with optimization enabled.
So if this is the case then when some one is compiling his linux kernel is by default optimization enabled in that or Makefiles take care of this.
What is the default behavior of gcc?
Is it always in optimized mode or we have to do it manually?
