[PATCH v2 06/25] powerpc/ftrace: Inline ftrace_modify_code()

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Sat May 07 2022 - 02:48:03 EST


Inlining ftrace_modify_code(), it increases a bit the
size of ftrace code but brings 5% improvment on ftrace
activation.

Usually in C files we let gcc decide what to do but here
it really help to 'help' gcc to decide to inline, thought
we don't want to force it with an __always_inline that
would be too much for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
