This was allyesconfig which already uses -Os Using -O2, there is no difference using inline or not, but the size delta with the bitmask is much larger $ size arch/x86/net/built-in.o* (allyesconfig, but not -Os) text data bss dec hex filename 13410 820 3624 17854 45be arch/x86/net/built-in.o.new 16130 884 4200 21214 52de arch/x86/net/built-in.o.old 16130 884 4200 21214 52de arch/x86/net/built-in.o.static -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
