Subject: Fix some common inline bloat
Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 14:43:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400276595-6965-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)

It's very easy to bloat the kernel code significantly by adding
code to commonly called inlines. Often these inlines start small,
but later when new code is added they don't get moved out-of-line.

I wrote a new tool to account for inline bloat. Addressing selected
occurrences in the top-20 of my kernel config saved about
145k.
