+config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
+ bool "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
+ default y
+ help
+ This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
+ developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
+ do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
+ compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
+ disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
+ this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
+ become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
+ test gcc for this.
