220     Keeping code small
221    
222    Set CONFIG_EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fno-inline-functions-called-once",
223    produce "make bloatcheck", see the biggest auto-inlined functions.
224    Now, set CONFIG_EXTRA_CFLAGS back to "", but add NOINLINE
225    to some of these functions. In 1.16.x timeframe, the results were
226    (annotated "make bloatcheck" output):

248    
249    scripts/mkdiff_obj_bloat may be useful to automate this process: run
250    "scripts/mkdiff_obj_bloat NORMALLY_BUILT_TREE FORCED_NOINLINE_TREE"
251    and select modules which shrank.
