* Force always-inline if the user requests it so via the .config,
* or if gcc is too old.
* GCC does not warn about unused static inline functions for
* -Wunused-function. This turns out to avoid the need for complex #ifdef
* directives. Suppress the warning in clang as well by using "unused"
* function attribute, which is redundant but not harmful for gcc.
+ * Prefer gnu_inline, so that extern inline functions do not emit an
+ * externally visible function. This makes extern inline behave as per gnu89
+ * semantics rather than c99. This prevents multiple symbol definition errors
+ * of extern inline functions at link time.
+ * A lot of inline functions can cause havoc with function tracing.
