Commit60a3cdd063("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86. The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config entry from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all architectures can benefit from it. This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled. For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1. dec file 18983424 arch/arm64/boot/Image.before 18321920 arch/arm64/boot/Image.after This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu ase61aca5158("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested; this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
