Building a kernel with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE leads to
the following functions being copied several times in vmlinux:
31 times __ilog2_u32()
34 times fls()
Disassembly follows:
c00f476c <fls>:
c00f476c: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3
c00f4770: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32
c00f4774: 4e 80 00 20 blr
c00f4778 <__ilog2_u32>:
c00f4778: 94 21 ff f0 stwu r1,-16(r1)
c00f477c: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0
c00f4780: 90 01 00 14 stw r0,20(r1)
c00f4784: 4b ff ff e9 bl
c00f476c <fls>
c00f4788: 80 01 00 14 lwz r0,20(r1)
c00f478c: 38 63 ff ff addi r3,r3,-1
c00f4790: 7c 08 03 a6 mtlr r0
c00f4794: 38 21 00 10 addi r1,r1,16
c00f4798: 4e 80 00 20 blr
When forcing inlining of fls(), we get
c0008b80 <__ilog2_u32>:
c0008b80: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3
c0008b84: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31
c0008b88: 4e 80 00 20 blr
vmlinux size gets reduced by 1 kbyte with that change.
