...arises when one ends up using a lot of inline asm statements in the kernel but due to the inline asm cost estimation heuristic which counts lines, I think, for example like in this here macro: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h#n162 the resulting code ends up not inlining the functions themselves which use this macro. I.e., you see a CALL <function> instead of its body getting inlined directly. Even though it should be because the actual instructions are only a couple in most cases and all those other directives end up...
