Top 50 inline functions expanded more than once by sum of its expansions
in a vmlinux file built for qemu, most things are modules, columns are
(inline function name, number of times it was expanded, sum in bytes of
its expansions, number of source files where expansions ocurred):

[acme@newtoy guinea_pig-2.6]$ pfunct --total_inline_stats
../../acme/OUTPUT/qemu/net-2.6/vmlinux | grep -v ': 1 ' | sort -k3 -nr |
head -50
