The code, #undef CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, is not working as expected. It is because <linux/compiler_types.h> is parsed before vclock_gettime.c since 28128c61e08e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct attributes"). Since then, <linux/compiler_types.h> is included really early by using the '-include' option. So, you cannot negate the decision of <linux/compiler_types.h> in this way. You can confirm it by checking the pre-processed code, like this: $ make arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vclock_gettime.i There is no difference with/without CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. It it about two years since 28128c61e08e. Nobody has reported a problem (or, nobody has even noticed the fact that this code is not working). It is ugly and unreliable to attempt to undefine a CONFIG option from C files, and anyway the inlining heuristic is up to the compiler. Just remove the broken code.
