memcpy(a,b,CONST) is not inlined by gcc 3.4.1 in Linux kernel

[Denis Vlasenko]

Try testcase below the sig.

This causes nearly one thousand calls to memcpy in my kernel
(not an allyesconfig one):

# objdump -d vmlinux | grep -F '<memcpy>' | wc -l
    959

# gcc -O2 -c t.c
# objdump -r -d t.o

t.o:     file format elf32-i386
