[PATCH 1/2] Don't inline __const_udelay

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Apr 08 2015 - 09:17:48 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

__const_udelay is marked inline, and LTO will happily inline it everywhere
Dropping the inline saves ~44k text in a LTO build.

13999560 1740864 1499136 17239560 1070e08 vmlinux-with-udelay-inline
13954764 1736768 1499136 17190668 1064f0c vmlinux-wo-udelay-inline

Even without LTO I believe marking it noinline documents it correctly.
