-config FORCED_INLINING
- bool "Force gcc to inline functions marked 'inline'"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- default y
- help
- This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
- developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
- do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
- compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
- disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
- this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
- become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
- test gcc for this.
