Re: [PATCH] 2.4.22-pre3: P3 and P4 for chekc_gcc

[Margit Schubert-While]

Been using this in production for over 9 months.
It's interesting to note that, for AMD's, the check has been there for a 
long time.

For GCC3, there is another problem.
It does not inline what it should inline.
(Classic example is the ubiquitous copy_(from/to)_user with constant size)

You need either to add "-finline-limit=<n>" to the options
and/or add this into compiler.h
+#if (__GNUC__ > 3) || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 1)
+#define inline         __inline__ __attribute__((always_inline))
+#define __inline__     __inline__ __attribute__((always_inline))
+#define __inline       __inline__ __attribute__((always_inline))
+#endif
