I was thinking that the noinstr sections was more about not doing tracing
and kprobes. As "inline" has been defined as "notrace" for some time, where
any function marked as "inline" will not be available to ftrace even if the
compiler decides not to honor the inline.

in linux/compiler_types.h:

#define inline inline __gnu_inline __inline_maybe_unused notrace
