[PATCH] entry: always inline local_irq_{enable,disable}_exit_to_user()
From: Eric Dumazet
Date: Thu Dec 04 2025 - 10:31:30 EST
clang needs __always_inline instead of inline, even for tiny helpers.
This saves some cycles in system call fast path, and saves 195 bytes
on x86_64 build:
$ size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after
text data bss dec hex filename
34652814 22291961 5875180 62819955 3be8e73 vmlinux.before
34652619 22291961 5875180 62819760 3be8db0 vmlinux.after
