Subject: [RESEND PATCH v3 11/11] compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 12:49:59 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190423034959.13525-12-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190423034959.13525-1-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Commit 60a3cdd06394 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86.

The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config
entry from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all
architectures can benefit from it.

This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled.

For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1.

  dec       file
  18983424  arch/arm64/boot/Image.before
  18321920  arch/arm64/boot/Image.after

This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as
e61aca5158a8 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested;
this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.
