Huh, 'inline' effectively means 'always_inline' on every arch, except x86.
This looks like a bug IMO.
Allowing gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline' could be beneficial for some arches/configs.

$ git grep ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING
	arch/tile/Kconfig:config ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING
	arch/x86/Kconfig:config ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING
	include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:#if !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING) ||           \

$ git grep OPTIMIZE_INLINING
	arch/x86/Kconfig.debug:config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
	arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y
	arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig:CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y
	arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vclock_gettime.c:#undef CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
	include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:    !defined(CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING) || (__GNUC__ < 4)
