On a powerpc32 build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE, the inline keyword is not honored and trace_trigger_soft_disabled() appears approx 50 times in vmlinux. Adding -Winline to the build, the following message appears: ./include/linux/trace_events.h:712:1: error: inlining failed in call to 'trace_trigger_soft_disabled': call is unlikely and code size would grow [-Werror=inline] That function is rather big for an inlined function: c003df60 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled>: c003df60: 94 21 ff f0 stwu r1,-16(r1) c003df64: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 c003df68: 90 01 00 14 stw r0,20(r1) c003df6c: bf c1 00 08 stmw r30,8(r1) c003df70: 83 e3 00 24 lwz r31,36(r3) c003df74: 73 e9 01 00 andi. r9,r31,256 c003df78: 41 82 00 10 beq c003df88 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x28> c003df7c: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c003df80: 39 61 00 10 addi r11,r1,16 c003df84: 4b fd 60 ac b c0014030 <_rest32gpr_30_x> c003df88: 73 e9 00 80 andi. r9,r31,128 c003df8c: 7c 7e 1b 78 mr r30,r3 c003df90: 41 a2 00 14 beq c003dfa4 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x44> c003df94: 38 c0 00 00 li r6,0 c003df98: 38 a0 00 00 li r5,0 c003df9c: 38 80 00 00 li r4,0 c003dfa0: 48 05 c5 f1 bl c009a590 <event_triggers_call> c003dfa4: 73 e9 00 40 andi. r9,r31,64 c003dfa8: 40 82 00 28 bne c003dfd0 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x70> c003dfac: 73 ff 02 00 andi. r31,r31,512 c003dfb0: 41 82 ff cc beq c003df7c <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x1c> c003dfb4: 80 01 00 14 lwz r0,20(r1) c003dfb8: 83 e1 00 0c lwz r31,12(r1) c003dfbc: 7f c3 f3 78 mr r3,r30 c003dfc0: 83 c1 00 08 lwz r30,8(r1) c003dfc4: 7c 08 03 a6 mtlr r0 c003dfc8: 38 21 00 10 addi r1,r1,16 c003dfcc: 48 05 6f 6c b c0094f38 <trace_event_ignore_this_pid> c003dfd0: 38 60 00 01 li r3,1 c003dfd4: 4b ff ff ac b c003df80 <trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x20> However it is located in a hot path so inlining it is important. But forcing inlining of the entire function by using __always_inline leads to increasing the text size by approx 20 kbytes. Instead, split the fonction in two parts, one part with the likely fast path, flagged __always_inline, and a second part out of line. With this change, on a powerpc32 with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE vmlinux text increases by only 1,4 kbytes, which is partly compensated by a decrease of vmlinux data by 7 kbytes. On ppc64_defconfig which has CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SPEED, this change reduces vmlinux text by more than 30 kbytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
